나르도‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪6‬개의 호수

One of the most representative Spunnulate of the marsh. Example of how the water emerging from the subsoil indicates the presence of abundant fresh water in the Salento subsoil but also the difficulty of accessing it. Destination of migratory avifauna. Wonderful. It is a protected place and (for obvious reasons) bathing is absolutely prohibited.

In some parts the sand on the trail is quite thick: if you are travelling with a very heavy bike it might be better to push it.

The Salina dei monaci of Torre Colimena is a small earthly paradise located on the Ionian coast of Salento a few kilometers from Porto Cesareo

The spunnulates result from the collapse of the vaults of pre-existing underground karst cavities. In many cases they host a body of groundwater which, given the proximity to the sea, is brackish and with variable salinity.

along the sheep tracks on the border between Soleto and Sternatia, and a natural depression in a rocky area called Laccu de lu craparu, which translated from Griko means “shepherd’s pond”, during the rainy season allows the collection of water, transforming into a temporary lake. This stagnation allowed shepherds to bring their flock of sheep to drink.

Today we started the lovely walk through the dunes and had lunch in Torri Colimena, on the way back from the roundabout this route is absolutely no longer recommended, first along a road, then the land is plowed and then no good passable path can be found, we are over climbed stone walls and crossed a ditch over metal pipes to get back on the route and finally went straight through blackberry bushes and over a wall with difficulty and ended up back on the road, didn't try the last part anymore, seemed to be overgrown

The Salina dei Monaci is a nature reserve and protected area located in the province of Taranto near Torre Colimena.

The Salina dei Monaci is a nature reserve located near Torre Colimena. It is a salt lagoon that hosts a rich biodiversity, especially of migratory birds such as pink flamingos. The salt pan owes its name to the Benedictine monks who managed it until 1404, and is separated from the sea by a sand dune and a channel dug into the rock. It is an ideal place for a day at the beach, bird watching and a nice walk.
