The Geological Route (from Mulin da Canaa to Ghitello)

  • Trail Conditions: On foot
  • Interest: Geology

    The pale and clearly stratified rocks you can see in the riverbed at Mulin da Canaa are the most ancient rocks in the Park: they are flint sandstones 190 million years old. Going downstream, they become richer in clay and fossils (Ammonites): it is dangerous (and forbidden) try to pick up the latter!! Before reaching Farügin bridge, you can easily see the red strata of the Ammonite, where over 800 different species of this fossil molluscs have been found!
