Not Only Caves: The Largest Karstic Park in Emilia-Romagna

Where in Italy Parco dei Gessi Bolognesi e Calanchi dell'Abbadessa
Gessi Bolognesi e Calanchi dell'Abbadessa Park is situated on the hills surrounding Bologna, and it is characterized by a series of gypsum outcrops from which a very interesting karst system and the suggestive Calanchi dell'Abbadessa have derived. Although they have been damaged by the past mining activities, Gessi bolognesi represent one of the main naturalistic points of interest of the area, with dolines, closed valleys, and cliffs shaping the landscape and populated by Mediterranean species and species living at higher altitudes.
