Fascinating place that offers views and sea

The Cipresseta di Fontegreca is one of the most well-equipped natural areas in the Matese: a forest of centuries-old cypress trees crisscrossed by streams, waterfalls, and shaded paths. There is a €3 entrance fee to the park, which allows for sustainable management of the area. Visitors have access to picnic tables, shaded areas for laying out a towel, public restrooms, and a seasonal shuttle service from the parking lot.

Ciorlano is a small village in the upper Volturno, overlooking the valley and surrounded by a rural landscape of fields, springs, and wooded slopes rising toward the Matese Mountains. Piazza Vendettuoli is the focal point of community life in the village, offering numerous panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

The Sanctuary of the Madonna dei Cipressi is one of Fontegreca's most symbolic sites, built in the 17th century beside the Sava River. Tradition holds that the statue of the Virgin was found among the centuries-old cypress trees that still surround the sanctuary today, giving rise to the heartfelt celebration of September 7th, featuring processions, folk music, and traditional tastings. At the end of the paved road leading to the sanctuary, you'll find a fountain where you can fill your water bottle before continuing toward the Cipresseta.

Beautiful cycle path along the seafront, part of the Francigena

Wonderful aqueduct built by Vanvitelli to bring water to the Royal Palace of Caserta

The cypress grove is accessible with the payment of 3 euros per person. It can be reached by shuttle, offered by a local association that takes care of it following the payment of 1 euro per person. It is an enchanting place to refresh and stop for a picnic. From there, several challenging and unmarked paths (mule tracks) wind towards the highest parts of the ridges where it stands, to be followed with caution.

Archaeological area of Minturno. There are numerous testimonies of the Roman era among which the theater stands out. Also worth visiting is the related museum.
