At the Zimbral picnic area, watch the mounds of sand made by the moles and enjoy the birds singing. A sign of the old age of trees is the presence of a fungus, commonly known as Pine bracket (Porodaedalea pini), identified by the presence of its fruiting bodies - ears - in the tree trunks.
In Medos National Forest (“medos” means dunes) in a calm and calm environment, observe the dominant plant species, the Stone Pine (Pinus pinea) with centenarians trees. Under the pine canopy, look out over several shrubs, and note the Phoenician Juniper (Juniperus turbinate also locally known as “zimbro” so the name “Zimbral”) whose unusual growth, together with the centenary settlement of Stone Pine, led to the classification of this forest as a botanical reserve.
