Walking on the paths that wind among ancient trees and rare protected botanical specimens, one forgets that this green jewel is kept in the heart of the city: in fact, the first urban traces are only a few minutes’ walk away.
The trail cuts through the Vase Forest.
Due to its northern exposure, the undergrowth is rich in ferns; there are numerous blooms in spring.
Chestnut, oak and locust trees dominate among the trees.
The rare example of historic urban forest has been defended by the city over time.
Today it is an area of environmental and landscape interest of the Bergamo Hills Regional Park.
