Pineta Ulmo

Highlight • Forest

The Ulmo pine forest is a forest of Aleppo pines and Mediterranean scrub located between Ceglie Messapica and Villa Castelli, in the Itria Valley. The pine forest hosts a picnic area equipped with tables and benches, and a fountain where you can take a refreshing break. The pine forest is part of the Apulian Aqueduct Cycle Path, a cycling and hiking route that follows the route of the pipelines that bring water from Campania to Puglia.

Ulmo Pine Grove

Highlight • Forest

The Ulmo pine forest hosts a picnic area and extends for about ten hectares. Among trees (including the Aleppo pine) and Mediterranean scrub, there are paths, paths, wooden tables and benches. It is an ideal place to spend a day with friends, relatives and family. The pine forest is quite dense and guarantees shade and fresh air even on hot summer days. There is also a kiosk-bar with lovely wooden tables and "decorated" trees.

The planting of the pine forest dates back to the agrarian reform of 1950, after the expropriation of landowners and the assignment to farmers of one hectare per family, intended for the cultivation of vineyards, orchards, vegetable gardens, olive groves and gardens. The laborers could have had a piece of land of their own, a house and shelters for farmyard animals. The area of the Ulmo pine forest, being rocky, was impossible to be assigned to farmers and therefore the happy intuition of creating a green lung for the city. From the testimonies of elderly people, we learned that the park was created by prisoners, who served their sentences in public social services.

Acquedotto Pugliese Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Section of the Apulian aqueduct that winds in the heart of the Itria Valley ... The surrounding landscape is suggestive ... Path that lends itself well to traveling with gravel bikes.

Old Trullo

Highlight • Structure

A wonderful, easy hike to do. Takes in beautiful scenery and views of all the trulli you could possibly wish to see. A tip for starting the walk: if you’re driving, park at the church Parrocchia Santa Maria Beata Vergine del Monte Carmelo. The map coordinates on the app take you to a random point on the road where you can’t park. The walk starts from the church car park so easier to just park there.
