Imagine starting your walking tour in the heart of the countryside, surrounded by golden fields of wheat that sway gently with the breeze. As you enter the woods, the landscape changes: the terrain becomes more bumpy, the sounds of nature intensify. Here, among imposing trees and dense foliage, you can see the wild life in its most authentic form. You may encounter a curious squirrel jumping between the branches, or maybe spot a wild rabbit creeping through the trees. Crystal clear streams run through the forest. Their soothing murmur accompanies you along the way, inviting you to take a break and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding nature. Arrived at the lake, we will see the turtles usually sunbathe on the floating trunks, immersed in a tranquility that seems out of time. You can sit on the bank, letting your gaze wander into the horizon reflected on the water.
