Parco naturale regionale dell'Antola

The park extends across 4,837 hectares of protected land, featuring Monte Antola at 1,597 meters and diverse landscapes of woodlands, pastures, and valleys.

The protected area, established in 1985 and officially designated as a natural park in 1989, preserves ancient trade routes connecting coastal Liguria to inland regions.

Twelve municipalities within the park maintain traditional agricultural practices and preserve medieval structures like Castello della Pietra with its dungeons and walkways.

Visitors access the park via the A7 motorway exits at Busalla, Ronco Scrivia, or Isola del Cantone, with 270 kilometers of marked hiking trails throughout.

The return of wolves in the late 20th century, after their 1850s disappearance, marks a natural restoration of the park's ecological balance.
