With an altitude that reaches 1152 mt, Cornacchia Mount enjoys the highest peak of the Daunia’s chain. From the top of the mountain and along the various paths specially designed to offer the most optimal experience to the many excursionists visiting this place every year, you can easily admire the Earth’s curvature, since you walk at the level of the clouds!
In total, the “Subappenino Dauno” hosts 5 mounts: the first in altitude is Monte Cornacchia, followed by Monte Saraceno (1.145 mt),Monte Crispignano (1.105 mt), Toppo Pescara (1078 mt) and Monte Sidone (1061 mt). Nestled among these imposing rock masses, the Municipality of Biccari stands out for a peculiar project developed by the local “Cooperativa di Comunità Biccari”, which implemented the concept of a sustainable tourism that doesn’t need to build or intervene incisively in the natural and local environment, to develop. By placing pop-up bubble houses in the forest, the cooperative offers its guests an experience of full immersion in the quietness of mother nature, making use of an innovative housing structure designed in Belgium by a group of architects that wanted to rethink the concept of lodging in nature.
