The Boschetto del Cugnolo is a protected area made up of Mediterranean scrub that grows on a fossil dune from the Pliocene. It is crossed by a circular path of about two kilometers, which offers splendid views of the sea and the village of Torre di Palme, and allows you to reach the Grotta degli Amanti, a suggestive natural cavity.

Lovers' Cave

Highlight • Cave

The Grotta degli Amanti has two entrances, it is a cavity that was probably formed by the forces of the water. The name is inspired by a love story between the two subjects Antonio and Laurina, who fled here during the First World War (he was a soldier and decided to stay here with her instead of going back to war).

Due to better forecast for the sea level, we combined this little loop with a dip of our big toe in the Adriatic Sea. Interesting ground outcrops with plants that are unusual for us and the buzzing of common swifts in the valley and a view of the village.
