In this section the trail intersects some old transhumance paths for grazing, as well as several specimens of large oak and terebinth. The name of the trail is linked to an ancient bovine breed, the "podolica", still raised today in the territory of Martina Franca. The podolica is the most rustic of the Italian breeds and probably comes from Podolia (Ukrainian region). After the fall of the Roman Empire it spread along the Adriatic coast from Veneto to Puglia Gargano.

Captain’s Tree – Cyclamen Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

Path characterized by naturalistic peculiarities due to the presence of a specimen of holm oak of 216 cm in circumference and 28 meters high called the captain's tree. The tree was struck by a thunderbolt in one of its branches and has therefore remained incomplete. Other giant oak trees can be found along the path that winds south of the captain's tree. The level of difficulty of this path is relatively low, as it does not present particular criticalities or particularly technical points along the route.
