Foresta Umbra
Puglia
Named for the deep shade cast by its centuries-old beech canopy, this forest occupies the high interior of the Gargano peninsula, a striking contrast to the arid coastline just a short drive away. Roe deer, once reintroduced here, now roam freely, and a small visitor centre and lake sit at its heart.
