The itinerary is a ring to discover the Locone dam and the Minervinian countryside. Starting from the sanctuary of the Madonna del Sabato, proceed along the rural road of Torlazzo and Lamalunga or the historical wine route named after Giulio Bucci (1837-1887), along which various farms and cellars are open for wine and other organic products. The Locone reservoir will be a pleasant surprise thanks to the green woods that adorn it and the various viewpoints that surround it.

It is possible to make a detour continuing along the Lamalunga road, beyond the door of the park near the Devil’s Bridge, you will find the historic Bucci estate, now in disuse, the purification plant of the Apulian aqueduct and the rural village of Loconia, a hamlet di Canosa, famous for the percoca (a peculiar sort of peach) festival held in summer.
