Parco Regionale dello Stirone e del Piacenziano, Regional park between Parma and Piacenza provinces, Italy
Parco Regionale dello Stirone e del Piacenziano lies along the Stirone River, displaying varied landscapes from gentle plains to barren badlands in the Apennine foothills. The area contains different natural environments that visitors can reach through marked trails.
The territory became protected in 2011, transforming farmland into a reserved area for geological formations and natural habitats. This change recognized the scientific importance of the landscape.
The ancient trade routes Via Emilia and Via Francigena pass through the area, linking historical settlements, castles, and parish churches. These paths still shape how people experience the landscape today.
Visitors should bring suitable footwear for varied ground conditions, as trails cross many different landscape types. Picnic areas and parking with basic facilities are available at several locations.
Marine fossils and rock layers reveal almost 8 million years of Earth's history, from ancient ocean changes to the formation of today's landscape. These visible strata tell a story of profound shifts that reshaped the continent.
