Parco naturale regionale dei Boschi di Carrega

Parco naturale regionale dei Boschi di Carrega is a protected nature reserve in the Province of Parma with extensive woodlands and meadows situated between two rivers. The territory also contains artificial water pools and scattered historic structures integrated within the forested landscape.

The area was developed as a recreational zone for Parma's nobility in the late 1700s when the Casino dei Boschi residence was built. This structure shows how the landscape was reshaped to provide leisure and hunting grounds for the upper classes.

The small San Biagio Church within the park displays ornately carved medieval reliefs that visitors can still admire today. These artworks represent the architectural heritage of the region and shape how the park is experienced.

The territory is well served by maintained trails that accommodate walking, cycling, and horseback riding. Visitors should wear appropriate footwear and be prepared for changeable weather in wooded areas.

The area hosts an exceptional diversity of fungi with over four hundred species not found in other local woodland areas. This biological distinction led to the site's classification as a protected area of community interest.
