Classe pinewood is a vast ancient and delightful pinewood that extends along the coast and covers around three thousand hectares to the south of Ravenna. The Adriatic port Classe is where the Romans built and repaired ships of the fleet and one could believe that in those times the pinewood was thick and extensive. The Mediterranean vegetation envelops the centuries-old pines with swaths of heather, dog rose, evening primrose, sarsaparilla, and phillyrea. Shrub varieties include periwinkle, spurge laurel, asparagus, domestic sorb and medlar trees in the reserve where mountain bikes pass without disturbing the tranquillity.
