Bosco di Cugnolo in the 106° anniversary of the story of Grotta degli Amanti
1 November 2017
The Floristic Protected Area (number 85) of Bosco di Cugnolo is one of the last examples of “original” Macchia Mediterranea along the whole Adriatic as its 5 hectares of vegetation have escaped anthropization due to the particular nature and shape of the hill has “hijacked” the human presence to other areas. The easy and pleasant path that runs it in ring allows us to appreciate the remarkable biodiversity resulting from protection through trees by the impressive size, funny dens of animals and unusual plant species. In most parts of the trail you can also admire the interesting geological history of the place through the emergence of the different sedimentary layers dating from the Pliocene.

The network is through the three historic towns and the countryside of the rolling hills of the Macerata area with woods at the top and riparian vegetation along the waterways. The route number 2 is developed from Villa Pilotti to the stream Tennacola.
