From a biological point of view, the Gargano promontory is actually an island, divided from the peninsula by Tavoliere delle Puglie plateau. It is rich in karst structures like caves and dolines. While in the past the promontory was entirely covered with forests, now they represent only the 15% of its original surface area: the most important woodland in the Park is Foresta Umbra.
