Walkers,
trekkers and nature lovers can also find their feet
here, with
regional and national parks offering an abundance
of outdoor activities, including trekking, mountain
biking, paragliding, nature trails, hunting and fishing
and ski-ing.
Marche
has two national parks, the Monti Sibillini National
Park and
the Gran Sasso Monti Della Laga National Park.
The
Monti Sibillini National Park actively promotes and
protects
wildlife habitats and has played a key role in building
a stable population of wolves and other creatures
such as the golden eagle. Wild boar
abound and with the help of active re-introduction
programmes there are also now signs of the return
of the Marsicana brown bear from its stronghold
in neighbouring Abruzzo. There are even signs of the
return of the secretive and shy lynx.
