Along the road that leads to the top of Monte Stella begins a small path immersed in the coolness of the chestnut trees; leads to the "Castagnoni Cilentani", immense chestnut trees planted in the early Middle Ages whose circumference even exceeds 20 meters, placing them among the largest and oldest in Europe.
