Festa d'Autunno nel Parco Nazionale del Gargano

The Physis Trekking and Amateur Astronomy Association invites you to enjoy a magical day immersed in the unique atmosphere of autumn—a perfect blend of exploration, excellent food, and pleasant company.

We will meet to explore the trails of the wonderful Umbra Forest together, walking surrounded by the magic of the autumn foliage, among crunching leaves and majestic trees that are at their most beautiful this time of year. We will then move on to the “Foresta Umbra” Trattoria, where a special lunch awaits us, featuring traditional dishes, locally sourced ingredients, and all the passion of local cuisine. There will be music, relaxed conversation, anecdotes, the inevitable jokes, and plenty of laughter together—a chance to rediscover the pleasure of sharing and friendship, both old and new.
