Il Nature Trail "The courtyard and the meadows of San Teodoro" develops in the immediate vicinity of the Park Center and offers visitors the opportunity to learn more about the most significant aspects of the ancient rural nucleus of San Teodoro and the land historically connected to it.

The path is divided into two distinct portions designed to be traveled both separately and sequentially. The first part is a short circular route that develops inside the court of San Teodoro; in this first portion the salient elements are the ancient rural nucleus with the house, the barn, a modest and recent cottage and the well, which together constitute a remarkable testimony of the traditional building typologies, and the pertinent spaces of the court, with the old row of mulberry trees that marked the border with the cultivated area.

The second part of the path draws a wide circular route, which detaches from the previous path starting from the row of mulberry trees, and climbs the gentle slope that marks the foot of the Monteveglio hill. The pleasant walk offers a discreet glimpse of the typical agricultural landscape that has characterized the Bolognese countryside for centuries, with the plantations (the rows of vines married to live supports) alternating with regular plots of grass or cereals. In the upstream section, the path runs along a strip of wood and a shrubland, offering the opportunity to closely observe environments with a more natural character, now widespread on much of the Monteveglio hill.
