Overview

Immersed in the wild nature made up of rocky pastures and thick oak forests extending as far as the eye can see, native remnants of an ancient cover of spontaneous vegetation much larger than the current one, a place of botanical study on some rare species of spontaneous orchids.

The excursion starts from Quasano, at the gates of the Alta Murgia National Park, a hamlet of Toritto (BA), and after saying goodbye to the monumental Tree of the Lie, we will enter the oak forest, along shaded paths, animated by the bells of the grazing cows, we will reach the panoramic point where we can admire the Adriatic Sea and the ancient Jazzo Lamadenza among expanses of wheat, habitat for amphibians and dragonflies.

In this place of transhumance you immediately have the feeling of retracing the steps of the people who lived here a few centuries ago, where there is no shortage of large wild mammals, birds of prey, less common reptiles, such as the green lizard and the viper, and food plants and aromatic herbs. of the Murge.

Activity itinerary

Quasano
  • 3h
During the walking excursion we will have the opportunity to visit this small village which still houses the remains of the Masseria del Barone, an ancient place of transhumance and its monumental Tree of the Lie. Then climbing the panoramic hill overlooking the sea, we will enter the oak woods that surround this well-known holiday resort: an important ecosystem, habitat for various species of mammals such as the wild boar and its natural predator, diurnal and nocturnal birds of prey, reptiles such as the green lizard, amphibians, insects such as dragonflies and fireflies, and spontaneous plants such as typical Mediterranean aromatic herbs and numerous species of orchids, some of which are very rare. We will explore the characteristic karst blades of the Apulian landscape within which we will find the ruins of ancient farms and jazzi, places of pastoral tradition where even today one immediately has the sensation of retracing the steps of the people who lived in these places a few years ago.
