Hiking to the Bauxite Mines of Apulia

Hiking to the Bauxite Mines of Apulia

At a pre-selected time, we will meet at the Azienda del Cavone on the outskirts of Spinazzola to commence a hiking route to the bauxite mines of Apulia.

This hiking experience will take place in the National Park of Alta Murgia in southern Italy, where participants will learn about the historical bauxite extraction process, which significantly contributed to the region’s economy.

Throughout the tour, hikers will observe the bright red tones of bauxite minerals set against the greenery of Aleppo pine and cypress forests, along with panoramic views showcasing the area’s natural beauty.

As we proceed, we will also see the golden wheat fields of the Bradano Valley, extending towards the heights of the Lucan Apennines.

The hike spans approximately 3 hours and will conclude back at the original meeting point.
