The Ulmo Pine Forest, featuring a picnic area equipped with wooden tables and benches, extends over approximately ten hectares in the Ceglie Messapica area, in the heart of the Itria Valley. It's the ideal place to spend a relaxing day with friends and family, sheltered by the shade of the Mediterranean scrub and dense Aleppo pine forest, or simply to take a break before continuing your exploration of the surrounding countryside and the nearby towns of the Itria Valley.
