Brughiera Briantea Park, Regional park in Lombardy, Italy
Description
Brughiera Briantea Park is a protected natural area spreading across ten municipalities between Milan and Como provinces. The land contains large forest areas and meadows set in the flat Lombard plains, with marked paths for visitors to explore.
History
The protected area was established in 1984 as the first natural reserve north of Milan. It merged with the neighboring Groane Regional Park in 2018.
Culture
The name comes from 'brucus', a Late Latin word for the pink bell-shaped flowers of heath plants that grow naturally here. These plants shape how the landscape looks and are important to the identity of the area for local residents.
Practical
The site has 16 marked trails that connect points of interest including Villa Padulli, Cascina Mordina, and Laghetto Azzurro throughout the protected area. Visitors can use these paths to explore different sections easily.
Did you know?
The soil here supports a mix of broadleaf trees including oak, cherry, hornbeam, lime, ash, and field maple species. This particular combination of trees is what makes the forest ecosystem here distinctive.
