Monte Scorace and Bruca Countryside

The Scorace forest develops between 400 and 600 meters above sea level. The top of the relief, 624 meters high, allows you to admire a vast panorama of the Trapani mountains to the north, the Egadi mountains to the west, the Sicani mountains to the south-east. The Scorace forest preserves a sparse natural tree vegetation dominated by cork oak and holm oak, accompanied by downy oak and elm and by shrubs typical of siliceous soils such as the strawberry tree. Other frequent shrubs are broom, euphorbia, heather and other species typical of the Mediterranean scrub.

The forest also has vast areas with artificially planted tree species such as stone pine, maritime pine, Aleppo pine, cypress and eucalyptus.

Among the animals, the buzzard, the kestrel, the great tit, the robin, the hoopoe, the rabbit, the hare and the porcupine make their appearance. Among the reptiles, the viper stands out.
