Umbra Forest Nature Reserve.
Informations
The Foresta Umbra is a renowned natural reserve located in the heart of the Gargano National Park, in Puglia, Italy. This forest is named after the Latin word "umbra" meaning "shadowy," reflecting its dense canopy of trees that filters sunlight, creating a cool and shaded environment.
The Foresta Umbra is famous for its exceptional biodiversity and represents one of the last and best-preserved broadleaf woodlands in Europe. It hosts various species of flora and fauna, some of which are rare or endemic. Beeches, oaks, and pines are among the predominant trees, while the undergrowth is rich in wild orchids and other rare plant species.
From a faunal perspective, the forest is home to a variety of animals, including deer, foxes, wild boars, and a rich variety of birds, making it an ideal place for birdwatching enthusiasts.
The Foresta Umbra is also a popular hiking destination, with numerous trails crisscrossing the park, offering visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in nature and enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the landscape.
