Geological Marvel of the Amata Valley

A Romantic Landscape Park
This 18th-century landscape park, inspired by English garden traditions, was carefully designed to preserve nature’s untouched beauty. Paths wind organically along the right bank of the Amata River, passing through forests, ravines, and cliffs. Fallen trees were left in place to be overgrown with moss, blending artfully into the scenery.
You’ll also find:
- Ancient apple orchards,
- Historical dendrological plantings,
- A man-made waterfall, and
- Charming rest areas, perfect for peaceful reflection or a picnic.
Amata Trail
Running along the right side of the Amata River, the Amata Trail offers unparalleled views of the cliffs, ancient forests, and deep valleys — ideal for hikers, photographers, and geology enthusiasts.
