Overview

Immersed in the wilderness made of vast rocky pastures and thick oak forests extended as far as the eye can see, a place of botanical study on some rare species of wild 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 Lie, we will enter the oak grove, along shaded paths we will reach the panoramic point where you can admire the Adriatic Sea, the centuries-old La Gloria Oak and the ancient Jazzo Lamadenza among expanses of grasses and legumes, where a stone cistern is habitat for amphibians and dragonflies.

In this place of transhumance you immediately felt like retracing the steps of the people who lived here a few centuries ago, where in addition to shepherds and flocks of sheep, there are also large wild mammals, birds of prey, less common reptiles, alimurgical plants, aromatic herbs, and the precious Toritto Almond, a typical local product to be enjoyed.

Activity itinerary

Quasano
  • 3h
During the excursion on foot we will visit this small village that still houses the remains of the Masseria del Barone, an ancient place of transhumance and its monumental Tree of Lies. Going up the scenic hill overlooking the sea, we will delve into the oak woods surrounding this well-known holiday resort: an important ecosystem, habitat for various species of mammals such as wild boar and its natural predator, day and night birds of prey, reptiles such as scabbard, amphibians, insects such as dragonflies and fireflies, and wild plants such as typical Mediterranean 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, places of pastoral tradition, and taste the prized Toritto Almond, typical local, included in the list of traditional Italian agri-food products.
