There is a park, near Bologna, which protects a very special landscape, where crystalline gypsum and gullies crop out: they characterise one of Europe’s most studied karst complex.

Regional Park “Gessi Bolognesi” offers you a green area rich of impressive erosive forms, where different animal and vegetable species, of great scientific interest, take shelter.

Inside the complex of the Park’s Caves, you may visit, with experienced guides, the Spipola Cave, to have a closer look at rocks, which characterise this complex.

In particular, all through the month of August, speleological visits to the park’s caves are going to be organised: they need obligatory reservation (phone since 9.30 a.m. until 12.30 a.m. - from Tuesday to Saturday – to the Park Centre: Tel. 051/6254821), speleological safety helmet, to be 8 years old at least and a bit of bravery in order to penetrate into the Earth’s twists and turns!

We wish you’ll be able to visit this Park in a short time: we visited it and we liked it very much…
