Riserva naturale guidata Calanchi di Atri

The reserve encompasses 380 hectares of eroded clay formations called calanchi, displaying vertical ridges and deep valleys across the terrain.

The protected area, established in 1995, preserves geological formations that developed over thousands of years through continuous water and wind erosion.

The reserve functions as an Environmental Education Center, offering programs about local ecosystems and nature conservation for students and visitors.

Visitors can access the reserve through marked trails from Atri, located 7 kilometers from the A14 Adriatica highway exit Atri-Pineto.

The reserve houses wild gladiolus, capers, and licorice plants, while providing nesting grounds for buzzards, kestrels, and sparrowhawks.
