Sunday 10 July 2016: Treasure hunt, excursion, observation of the golden eagles' eyrie
Three free events are offered to enjoy the beauty of nature in the Reserve.
“I reperti naturali”, a creative workshop with treasure hunt for families, will take place in the morning at the park La Golena del Furlo by picking up sticks and stones and everything provided by nature. A guide will teach adults and children how to make objects and tools by handicraft techniques. Meet at 9.30 at the visitor centre of the Natural Reserve Gola del Furlo in the village of Furlo di Acqualagna, via Flaminia n.36.
In the afternoon there will be the possibility to choose between “Tra le meraviglie della Gola”, the guided walk taking place every Sunday to discover the marvels of nature in the Gola del Furlo, and a special event dedicated to the observation of the new eyrie built by the pair of golden eagles living in the Reserve.
The guided walk “Tra le meraviglie della Gola” starts at 15.30 from the visitor centre of the Natural Reserve of Gola del Furlo in the village of Furlo di Acqualagna, via Flaminia n.36. A naturalist guide will explain the sorts of plants and flowers and talk about the wild animals and birds of prey, such as the golden eagle, which can be observed in the natural reserve. It will be possible to admire also the two tunnels bored by the Romans along the via Flaminia, the grand road built during the III century B.C. to connect Rome to Rimini. The route of the excursion will be flat and accessible to everybody. Length of the walk: about 6 kms round trip.
The guided observation of the new eyrie built this year by the golden eagles will take place at the same time of the walk. Meet at 15.00 at the Grotta del Grano, on the via Flaminia, easy to reach on foot or by bycicle from the little village of Furlo or from the little parking area near the dam. A telescope to scan the crags on the other side of the gorge will be positioned by the guide. Visitors will also be taught about the golden eagle’s physical characteristics and behaviours.
Free admission to all the events. Reservation is required. No reservation for the observation of the golden eagle’s eyrie. Contact Natural Reserve Gola del Furlo visitor centre. Phone: 0721-700041. E-mail: riservafurlo@provincia.ps.it
