Parks - NATURAL PARK
Cervia Natural Park with its 27 hectares of pine forest, established in 1963, was created with the aim of safeguarding a considerable part of the natural environment, while making it usable by tourists and visitors.
The Natural Park is a place where you can spend hours of absolute peace and quiet and discover forgotten scents and sounds, re-establishing that contact with nature that man has long lost. It is not a simple green park, but a real jewel in the heart of Milano Marittima which offers multiple possibilities: from getting to know many animals up close, especially those from the farm, to spending a peaceful picnic in the open air or sipping a coffee in the company of swallows.
There is a real botanical itinerary that indicates various native essences of the pine forest of Cervia. The most representative tree essence is the stone pine (Pinus pinea) with its "umbrella" crown which differs from the other pine present, the maritime pine (Pinus pinaster) whose crown is instead "pyramidal". Other trees present in good numbers are oaks, such as downy oak (Quercus pubescens) and sessile oak (Quercus petraea). The undergrowth is very rich in shrubs such as bramble (Rubus ulmifolius), hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna), sea buckthorn (Hippophae ramnoides), privet, honeysuckle (lonicera caprifolium) and barberry (Berberis vulgaris). Small orchids "cheer up" the soil.
A rich selection of animals populate the park. In particular, the Natural Park has embraced the cause of the repopulation of native species, both regional and Italian. You can admire numerous varieties of: chickens, guinea fowl, turkeys, rabbits, goats, sheep, horses, cattle, donkeys, deer, fallow deer, many of which can be touched by hand inside the enclosure of the educational farm. The most common ornamental breeds are present: peacocks, pheasants, baby pigs, etc…
The Park also offers many other opportunities: from the organic garden to horseback riding, to a rich program of events that enliven the park from spring to autumn.
A refreshment point suitable for children:
Binario 9 ¾ is a one-of-a-kind refreshment point thanks to the particular wooden structure, the suggestive outline of the centuries-old pine forest and the services it offers to adults and children. It is a place to live, where you can enjoy the quiet of the park at any time of day, an 'educational' and somewhat magical refreshment point where the little ones can read, play and participate in educational workshops, which in part develop in the pine forest.
