The Euganean Hills are a melding of natural and historic beauty that reflects the idea of an intelligent holiday.

 

The Regional Park of Euganean Hills founded in 1989 covers an area of around 19 thousand square hectares of hills of volcanic origin.

Forests of age-old oak and chestnut alternate with Mediterranean maquis and wide terraced slopes with fruit trees and grapevines.

The Euganean landscape maintains many witnesses of a glorious past: you can admire small towns of medieval origin, like Este and Monselice; majestic castles like Catajo in Battaglia Terme or the one in Valbona; stunning villas like Villa Barbarigo in Valsanzibio or Villa Emo Capodilista.

Nonetheless you can visit places of faith such as the Benedictine Abbey of Praglia.

The Euganean Hills Park can be variously enjoyed by bicycle, mountain bike, on foot, or by car along the numerous panoramic routes and the over 20 clearly-indicated and regularly-serviced trails up, down and around the slopes that make up the exploratory network.

The activities within the Park include hiking, horseback riding and rock climbing.
