The Bosco degli Zappini, better known as the "Cipresseta di Fontegreca", is one of the major symbols of the Matese Park. It is the subject of study because it is the only cypress forest of this size in Italy. Here there are also some fascinating waterfalls and natural pools.

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.
