The park occupies an area of 10 hectares of woods mainly comprising varied oaks and is divided into two distinct zones.
An internal one where you may not only observe different species of raptor, such as the Peregrine falcon and the Italian Lanner falcon, considered almost extinct species of the Italian fauna, but also deer, hares, donkeys, goats and some domestic animals.
An external zone where you may penetrate into the woods along a footpath and admire the nearly unknown life of the underwood creatures like the temporaria frog, the porcupine, the fox, the beech-martin, the weasel and many more.This is nature’s location where the visitor is directly involved and may some into close contact with animals and plants in their natural habitat and learn to love and respect them by observing their behaviour.
You may watch the flight of falcons and owls, feed them, observe the hatching of their eggs, generally in the month of March, follow their growth and if you wish their training too.
