EXPERIENTIAL TOURISM IN NOTHERN APULIA
Bike experience in Northern Apulia
We propose bike excursion with departure and return to the farm Moschella (Cerignola). You can spend a morning or a day between sport and nature.
The Via dell'Acqua route connects some of the main places of the Ofanto River Regional Natural Park and takes place almost entirely on country roads and service roads without traffic.
The exceptional variety of the landscape of the Ofanto Valley in this area consists in passing from the slopes of the Subappenino Dauno to the last bastion of Meseta, the step of Ripalta, before the horizon opens the plain of the Tavoliere di Puglia with its wheat fields interspersed with olive groves and vineyards.
Along the way, several birdwatching stations are reached: bee-eaters, falcons, cormorants and storks that every spring return to this part of Puglia: one of the main nesting areas in Italy.
It is possible to make it by e-bike rental or mountain bike (own or rental).
Pasta Time!!!
Chiara our cooker has learned to make orecchiette and other kind of Pasta from her mother... She is a true champion and with her sympathy she will be able to bring you into the stories of an ancient rural culture.
From durum flour and water, the miracle is realised!
In some periods of the year it is possible to associate a walk to the discovery of the typical spontaneous vegetables, to cook with the orecchiette... a delight for the palate!
