XI edition of the National Festival of Planet Earth Week
Between geology, nature and culture: two itineraries in the Monti Simbruini Regional Natural Park
On the occasion of the 11th edition of the National Festival of Planet Earth Week (1-8 October 2023) ISPRA proposes two scientific treks in the Monti i Simbruini Regional Natural Park. Through a double itinerary, a different way of using the territory is offered - slow tourism - which allows the observation of geological, hydrogeological, geomorphological, botanical and faunal characteristics. ISPRA fully shares the slogan that accompanies the festival this year: a more informed society is a more involved society.
