Those interested in natural history can also associate Quasano with these two orchid species. The woodland setting provides the scenic backdrop for walks and hikes, while the botanical discoveries add a distinct natural-history aspect.

Hiking Between Forest and Murgia

Stage SI R08 of the Sentiero Italia CAI runs for 17.7 km from Quasano to Contrada Lama d'Ape. From Quasano, it heads northwest along the Ciclabile dell'Acquedotto Pugliese through a landscape of farmland and forest. The stage's full accessibility is not guaranteed, as the route is still being checked by the local CAI sections. This status is important for your planning if you are considering including the stage in your hiking plans. For a 17.7 km hike, this distance is a concrete factor in planning the day; the fact that full accessibility is not guaranteed must also be taken into account. SI R08 leads to Contrada Lama d'Ape, while the hiking route in the Murgia di Quasano leads to Jazzo della Sentinella. The two routes therefore have different destinations: Contrada Lama d'Ape for SI R08 and Jazzo della Sentinella in the Murgia di Quasano.

The access path to Albero della Bugia leads from S.P. 72 Toritto–Quasano along Viale Fiorito for 300 metres to Largo Albero della Bugia. The 300-metre section is a concrete distance for planning this individual access route.
