The Pinewood of Cervia- Milano Marittima is the southern offshoot of the characteristic wooded area which once stretched southwards from the Po of Primaro (now River Reno) as far as Cervia. It stretches for 260 hectares and has been a Natural Reserve since 1970. It is a wealth of considerable natural interest, a magnificent green lung which offers visitors enchanting views and corners. Its uncontaminated environment is ideal for walking, cycling or jogging or, more simply, for enjoying the fresh air and relaxing. The Pinewood of Pinarella and Tagliata, which is “younger”, also offers the ideal environment for relaxation and an active holiday.
FITNESS IN THE PINEWOOD
From the square opposite Stadio dei Pini take Sentiero delle Terme (Path of the Thermal baths) which is home to the “Open-air gym”, a 10-module equipment circuit, similar to those of an indoor gym. From Sentiero delle Terme (Path of the Thermal baths) you arrive close to the railway overpass, turn right for Sentiero dello Storno (Path of the Starling) and continue to the canal. From here, turn right for Sentiero argine destro (Right Embankment Path) and, once beyond the wooden bridge, cross Via Jelenia Gora. Enter the Pinewood from Sentiero del Nespolo (Path of the Medlar) until you reach Via Nullo Baldini. Here you will find a fully-equipped area where you can stop and do your own fitness training session. From Via Nullo Baldini turn back and, after 300 metres, turn left, and a little further on turn right (Sentiero del Pero - Path of the Pear tree) until you meet Via Jelenia Gora once again.
NATURAL PARK
In the heart of the pinewood of Milano Marittima, the Natural Park is a Reserve immersed in greenery, where you can come into contact with animals and experience many open-air activities. In its 32 hectares it is possible to walk along the botanic trails, have a picnic in a meadow or in the specially equipped area, or visit the different species of animals that live here. Since 2014 the animal area has been enlarged and modified to allow visitors to come into contact with its inhabitants either individually or by a guided tour with Park staff. In particular, the area of “Nella vecchia fattoria” was opened to become acquainted with courtyard animals, sheep, goats, donkeys, ponies, piglets and poultry. “Binario 9 and 3/4” is a refreshment area located at the centre of the Park, where you can take a food and beverage break before experiencing the thrill of CerviAvventura, the aerial trails of the Park where you will remain suspended between earth and sky in total safety. CerviAvventura is for all those who want to try the unforgettable thrill of flying among the pines, and it is suitable for adults and children, nature and sports lovers.
