This itinerary will give you the opportunity not only to immerse yourself in nature but also to discover the fascinating traces of a distant and not so distant past.

In fact, along the way you will visit a Jazzo, the typical sheep farm of the Alta Murgia. Continuing on, you will have the opportunity to discover a much more recent historical trace – one of the 10 former US nuclear warheads that NATO placed in the Alta Murgia during the Cold War against the Soviet Union. Explore a lesser known place which was at the center of world geopolitics at the beginning of the 60s.
