An observation system has been established to allow visitors to see the eyrie of the golden eagle, built on the crags of Monte Paganuccio.
The event taking place on Sunday 2 July will be “Tra le meraviglie della Gola”, the guided walk throughout the marvels of nature and history in the Gola del Furlo Nature Reserve.
