Genuine wilderness — wear long sleeves and trousers (ticks). Bring a map.
Via Paolo Emilio Castagnola, 00135 Roma RM, Italy
A 740-hectare wilderness reserve in northwest Rome, protecting one of the largest patches of Mediterranean cork-oak forest in the metropolitan area. Wild boar, sheep, pheasants, and rare wildflowers can be seen along the trails. Less landscaped park, more genuine nature reserve — paths can be overgrown, wildlife is real, and basic safety precautions (long sleeves, water, map) apply. For travellers seeking 'real nature' inside Rome's borders.
