Parco dei Gessi Bolognesi e Calanchi dell'Abbadessa

A series of small dolines, swallow holes, and chalky hillocks characterizes the plateau, where you can enjoy a beautiful view over Savena valley reaching the plain next to Bologna. In some areas, it is possible to notice several "separation bubbles". The characteristic vegetation of the outcrops, enriched with Mediterranean shrubs, alternates with woodland strips at the bottom of the dolines. A curiosity is represented by the Prickly Pear, a cactus which has spontaneously spread across the plateau from the nearby garden of Villa Miserazzano.
