Stroll on the fossil dunes of the Park in search of the precious wild orchids.
Serapias apulica, Serapias lingua, Ophrys passionis ssp. passionis are the names of some of the amazing orchids that we’ll admire on the fossil dunes, small hills next to the sea, witness of what was the shoreline several millennia ago.
We will move along the ridge of the fossil dunes of the Park, admiring the sea from the high Mediterranean maquis next to the beach, to rediscover the contact with nature and the extraordinary diversity of wild orchids, outrageously perfect miniatures, to the point as to deceive pollinators.
During the walk, we will learn about several other blooms, typical of soils with outcropping rock as the arganetta, from which the red to dye fabrics was extracted, linen fairy (Stipa Austroitalica), endemic grasses in central and southern Italy that can be seen swaying with long feathery and silver plumes.
Meeting at 10 am, at the entrance of the camping Il Pilone (N 40°48,195´ - E 17°32,321´).
The stroll will end at 1 pm.
The walk is organized by the Coop. Ass. Serapia in collaboration with the Park Dune Costiere from Torre Canne to Torre San Leonardo.
Sneakers and comfortable clothing are advised. We also suggest you to bring your camera.
For any two adults, one child up to 10 years participates for free.
Booking is advisable, calling the number 366 5999514 or writing to @cooperativaserapia.it.
