Exploring the Furlo Gorge State Reserve on foot is one of the most authentic ways to experience this area. The trails that criss-cross the reserve allow you to immerse yourself in nature, amidst woods, rocky cliffs and spectacular views of the Marche Apennines.
Staying at the Abbazia Furlo Rest Area, you can set off on foot straight away to explore the nature trails in the area, without needing to use your car.
Why go trekking in Furlo
The Furlo Gorge is one of the most fascinating natural areas in the Marche region. The trails wind through holm oak woods, panoramic meadows and natural vantage points from which to admire the River Candigliano as it flows through the gorge.
During your walks, you may encounter numerous animal species and, with a bit of luck, even spot the flight of the golden eagle that nests in the reserve. Trekking here is suitable both for those seeking a simple stroll in nature and for those who enjoy longer walks through the mountains surrounding the gorge.
