at one time perhaps there was a WWF facility. Now an easy and well-maintained trekking route begins here, first with a slight uphill, then downhill that leads to centuries-old chestnut trees that grow together, among the pines.

Natural reserve full of ancient chestnut trees. The fruits of these trees were already used by the monks who frequented these areas in the XIII century for the preparation of food and as a bargaining chip.
