The area extends between the territories of Calvanico and Fisciano, in the province of Salerno, which is only 15 km away. We are located within the protected area of the Monti Picentini Regional Park, about 700 meters above sea level.

The naturalistic area of Frassineto is a forest of about 82 hectares, mainly made up of tall trees, such as ash trees (from which it takes its name) but you will also find beech and chestnut trees.

https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Mai from https://www.ulyxes.it/monte-mai-ee: The name of the Monti Mai certainly derives from the Latin word "maior", large. Some ancient papers and the same reports of Giustino Fortunato, illustrious explorer of the Picentini, also report the diction Maj. Main ridge of the homonymous mountain group, elongated in the ESE-WNW direction, the peak is located at the convergence of three ridges, impervious and interrupted by gaps, rocky crags and secondary peaks. The Monti Mai belong to the westernmost subgroup of the Monti Picentini, one of the largest mountain groups in southern Italy and part of the homonymous regional park. They are characterized by Mesozoic carbonate platform rocks and to a lesser extent by Triassic dolomites and marls. The vegetation that covers the Monti Mai is mainly represented by beech trees that cover the upper part, over 800 m, and chestnut trees on the slopes. The fauna, very rich, like that of all the Picentini Mountains, consists of large mammals, such as the wolf, the fox, the badger, the wild boar; birds of prey such as the peregrine falcon, the buzzard, the sparrowhawk, the goshawk; the black woodpecker, long-eared owl, dipper, kingfisher; amphibians such as the Apennine frog, the European green toad, the spectacled salamander, the fire salamander.

The Grotta Profunnata is one of the most interesting attractions of the Oasi Valle della Caccia. It has different environments, and is only partially accessible to visitors, with the help of suitable equipment and under the guidance of an expert.
