Subjects : Natural area well known to those who practice climbing in the Bologna area. It is rich in woods, flowers and animals, there are also beautiful views of the surrounding hills and Bologna. In autumn it is rich in mushrooms and in spring you can admire numerous butterflies.

Recommended equipment : The equipment ranges from wide angle, for wide landscapes, to the most advanced telephoto lens for birdlife or landscape details. Considering the presence of flowers and insects it is also possible to dedicate oneself to macro photography.

Best months : Throughout the year the place offers different possibilities according to the season, yellow foliage in autumn, snow in winter, lush vegetation in spring with the presence of numerous butterflies. In summer it is very hot and the vegetation tends to dry out. Especially in the coldest periods, early in the morning, it is possible to observe the phenomenon of thermal inversion and see the valley below completely immersed in fog. The only two negative notes are the highway, which runs in the valley below, and the proximity to Bologna, these two conditions make any attempt at astrophotography impossible.

How to get there : Take the A1 motorway to the Sasso Marconi exit. Then follow the signs for Badolo.By train you can reach Sasso Marconi but unfortunately there are no shuttle services that lead to this area.

Visits : Nature park always with free access, no ticket or control. Since you have to park along the street it can be difficult to find a place on busy days

Notes : Within this area passes the famous "Way of the Gods" and it is possible to walk different stretches
