Hiking

It is located in the municipality of Castelnuovo Don Bosco and is a large center with churches, museums, exhibitions, bars, etc ... dedicated to Don Bosco where he was born. Very popular with families and young people, it is easily accessible by car. If you've never been, I highly recommend it.
