13 LIVING THE NATURE IN THE MARCHES In a land where environmental awareness has always been a way of life, you can find some special attractions to improve your own relationship with the nature. PARC O REGIONALE GOLA DELLA ROSSA E DI FRASASSI The Natural Regional Park of Gola della Rossa and Frasassi is about 10.000 hectares wide, with some charming views that offer quiet spots. Some crystal-clear water flows from sulphuric springs and naturalists really enjoy some points in the park. The Valle Scappuccia, the Lago di Fossi and the Grotte di Frasassi are the most important ones. The caves represent an underground kingdom of rooms, passages and canyons of stalactites and stalagmites. PARC O SASSO SIMONE E SIMONCELLO The Park is the heart of the Montefeltro area. This is the synthesis of this territory; a mix between steep limestone relieves and gentle hills. Flora is multicoloured and variegated, from grey of the stones, to red-green of the nuts trees and maples. The educational value of this area is really important. You can make trekking, mountain bike and orienteering activities or visit the Calculation Museum in Pennabilli, the Historical Mine Museum in Novafeltria and the Fortess Museum in San Leo. RISERVA NATURALE ABBADIA DI FIASTRA The Abbadia di Fiastra Natural Reserve combines moments of pure nature immersion with human history contemplation. In this lands many people have left their signs and the ruins are still visible: the Romans, the medieval land lords, the Monks and later the modern peasants who reduced the width of the forest that still maintains its charm and beauty.
