Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 August 2016: Night guided walk and funny games for children

Two free events are offered to enjoy the Reserve during the week-end.

On Saturday 27 August the free guided walk “Il crepuscolo.. tra le meraviglie della Gola” will take visitors to enjoy suggestions and recognize birds songs at sunset. Meet at 6 p.m. at the visitor centre of the Natural Reserve of Gola del Furlo in the village of Furlo di Acqualagna, via Flaminia n.36. Thanks to their sequence of layered sedimentary rocks the mountains comprising the Reserve are the ideal place to observe the geological eras since 200 millions years ago. A 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 admired in the protected area. The night walk will take visitors to the two tunnels drilled by the Romans along the via Flaminia, the grand road built during the III century B.C. to connect Rome to Rimini. In particular it will be possible to visit the older tunnel, open for the occasion. The route of the excursion will be flat and accessible to everybody. Length of the walk: about 7 kms round trip.

On Sunday 28 August the event “Il bosco di fantasia” will be for families and children older than 5 years. Meet at 4 p.m. at the visitor centre of the Natural Reserve of Gola del Furlo in the village of Furlo di Acqualagna, via Flaminia n.36. Funny games and creative workshops will be organized in the park of La Golena and outside the museum Lorenzo Mannozzi Torini. Families should profit by the occasion to visit the museum, an unmissable place for those who want to know nature and protected species living in the Reserve. The museum hosts a large collection of stuffed animals, like wolves, fallow-deers, birds of prey, and sections dedicated to rocks and fossils.

Free admittance. Reservation is required for both events. Contact the Nature Reserve Gola del Furlo visitor centre. Phone: 0721-700041. E-mail: riservafurlo@provincia.ps.it
