Pulo di Altamura: excursion in the Alta Murgia National Park

Free booking, free cancelation.   Don't lose your place.

Immersed in the Alta Murgia National Park, walking here one has the sensation of being in a large open space in which one can wander with one's gaze towards infinite horizons characterized by the pungent smells of mint and wild thyme in the intense green of the wheat fields or rocky pastures among the evident yellow of the ferula, meeting orchids and birds of prey. In this land, emperors, peasants, shepherds, woodsmen, together with the climate, have made the landscape and its culture unique.

On the way we will meet stupendous farmhouses, we will cross oak woods, along the ancient sheep tracks of transhumance we will discover jazzi and post offices, we will travel along panoramic mule tracks and among the wheat fields we will admire large haystacks and ancient cisterns.

On the hills, flocks of sheep will blend in with the characteristic sharp rocks that give this area its name.

We will reach the octagonal stone crown isolated on a hill at 540 meters above sea level. from where a vast panorama is dominated.
