When you are at the Adriatic coast, definitely try to make a trip to Alta Murgia and beautiful cities around (especially Matera). It´s such a relax compared to coast zone full of tourists. But not only this makes the difference, it´s the nature itself which is quite impressive. It´s not so quaint like some national parks in the mountains, but it´s interesting, it´s very natural and it´s something you definitely don´t expect here. When you are in the summer around Bari or Lecce, everything is yellow or brown, here you see also so much green.
Unfortunately, also here you meet what´s typical for the South Italy - garbage put in the nature, but it´s rather limited compared to the surroundings of big coastal cities.
I guess that this place would take some popularity in the future, also thanks to Matera being the capital city of culture and I hope it will try to attract more tourists offering more possibilities for them, like biking tours etc.

We visited the national park as a peaceful family holiday, stayed in a masseria and enjoyed the peaceful environment. However, what it lacks is woodland and nature, it is so full of fields that space for true nature is limited. Nevertheless, it offers pictorial views on a nice day.

This whole area provides fairly gentle walking, interspersed with remarkable glimpses of the past, from pre-Roman to Mussolini.

We went on a mountain bike tour of the park and its environs with Giuseppe, who works for the Park Service (http://www.parcoaltamurgia.gov.it/officinadelpiano/) in Ruvo. They provided bikes, water, and helmets. Giuseppe is a trained naturalist and told us all about the park's history, the different types of ancient farm buildings on it, the kinds of plants and animals growing, and even showed us a cave. We stopped to try wild figs, climbed a sheep shearing building, and rode all around rocky hills. He was very accommodating of our less than professional biking experience. It was a challenging 30k but it's easily doable if you're mildly active and comfortable on a bike. It also only costs $50.

There's much more than a natual park here. Before my visit in the Murgia region I didn't make any differences inside the part of Puglia corresponding to the province of Bari. Then I discovered that through the many characters inside Puglia there's a murgian one unmistakable, poetically made of wide green and wheat yellow spaces, gentle hills making everyone to think there's no world behind this amazing scenography of wonderfully smelling foods, appreciable and mannered people, ancient walls of cathedrals and villages and spectacular ravines.
I'm honest I litterally felt in love with these places in which I litterally felt in love.

What is the best way to see the park? We will have a car but enjoy walking.
Is there a map of trails?
How does one make reservations for guided tours? What is the cost?

Hi Timothy, in my opinion the park is best seen with a bike as it is quite large, but walking can do the trick too.
Visit the official parcoaltamurgia website and you should get the required details on routes and excursions.

I'm sorry not to be able to be much use to you - we travelled as part of a group walking holiday with HF Holidays, with leaders who had maps and made all our arrangements. Worth checking out if you like walking in foreign places as you don't have to worry about transport!
