ルーヴォ・ディ・プーリアのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Very interesting to be able to visit the structure (although there is a private property sign) kept in an acceptable state

there is a difference in height of the walking levels to overcome but it is a very quiet and worth seeing route

Dirt road to reach the Jazzo del Demonio

A handful of kilometers from Ruvo di Puglia and Corato, this bridge overlooks the Scoparella forest and the so-called jazzo del Demonio, two of the last wooded places where it is still possible to find specimens of downy oak, once much more present throughout the Apulian territory.

Jazzo del Demonio recalls a disturbing story from 1870, when two shepherds, taking refuge in the jazzo, met a tired traveller. A sudden revelation of his cloven hooves revealed his demonic identity, giving the place an atmosphere of sulphurous curse and a tale passed down for over 150 years.

The jazzo is a particular fence for sheep widespread in Puglia (especially in the Murgia) and in the surrounding areas. Its purpose is to offer seasonal shelter for the sheep that carried out the transhumance.

In the Scoparella wood there is a bridge that allows us to cross the Apulian aqueduct.

Bosco di Patanella located in the Alta Murgia National Park a beautiful place to visit.-
