Sasso Mobile

In collaboration with the Province of Bologna, the Zeula Association, the Parco Gessi Bolognesi (Bolognese Gypsum Park) and the Gruppo Speleologi Bolognesi (Bolognese Cavers' Group), a natural history trail was created in 2006 (due to be inaugurated next autumn). The Public Administration's goal was to provide evidence of how plaster was produced and to emphasize the value of the park's natural environment, and to facilitate public accessibility and utility. The project calls for the creation of nature and history trails along the old municipal road (today just a footpath) which leads from da via Gessi to via Valle crossing through the zone with gypsum outcroppings and Monte Castello. The first part of the project involves a 1378 m. long area in which 5 theme-centered stations have been set up, as well as five picnic areas with informative plaques and signs.
