Sasso Mobile

Ideal for picnics and cookouts (there are barbecues available), or for a romantic sunset cocktail, Prati di Mugnano park is one of Bologna's best loved get-aways. If you are dreaming of spending a totally restful day, admiring the splendid panorama of the Reno River valley, this is the place. Instituted in 1974, the park extends over 110 hectares along the right bank of the Reno and offers a variety of environments: from the stoney river banks to the woods, from the high rock walls to the stream beds of the numerous torrents that snake through the valley. Consequently the flora and fauna are equally richly diversified: in amongst the oak groves, mixed cedars and sparse woodlands, we find deer, forest birds such as blackbirds, robins and nightingales, reptiles such as green frogs and toads and various specied of lizards. Many hiking trails, adapted to all kinds of walkers, cross Prati di Mugnano park, notably the “Via degli dei,” or pathway of the gods, linking Bologna and Florence.
