Walk in a wonderful Nature Reserve a stone's throw from Florence and even less from Prato and Pistoia: The Acququerino Biogenetic Nature Reserve.

The species present and the natural environment offer one of the best examples of biodiversity in the vicinity of our city.

A unique, suggestive environment that we will experience with a short walk in the woods at dusk.

Noises, smells and unique sensations in this period of the year, we will be in the mating season of the Deer, in which we also hope to hear the typical roar (no guarantee, nature is not in command !!!!).

We will know the habits, the characteristics and we also hope to make some "close encounters".

We propose this walk, really suitable for everyone, together with a nice snack-dinner in the beautiful refuge (typical cutting board and artisan bread of the place: wonderful !!!!!!) and then return, by now it will be dark, to the starting point.

The exact meeting place, which will coincide with the start of the activity, will be outdoors and will be communicated exclusively to the participants.
