Parco fluviale Gesso e Stura, Protected nature reserve near Cuneo, Italy.
The Gesso and Stura river park is a large protected area spanning 14 municipalities in Piedmont, connecting two river systems and their surrounding landscapes. The reserve features an extensive network of walking and cycling routes that pass through meadows, woodlands, and waterside habitats.
The protected area was established in 2007 to preserve the river landscapes that have shaped settlement and development around Cuneo for centuries. This decision marked an important commitment to safeguard the water resources and natural habitats for future generations.
This area holds meaning for local communities as a place to connect with the river landscape and learn about environmental conservation. People gather here for activities that highlight how the waterways shape daily life in the region.
The park features extensive cycling routes and is equipped with rental stations and information materials to help visitors plan their time. The paths are well-maintained and suitable for both casual walkers and people seeking longer outdoor activities.
The reserve includes specialized areas such as a barefoot walking path that lets visitors experience the ground and plants directly through touch and sensation. These sensory experiences are not common in most nature reserves and offer a different way to connect with the surroundings.
