The Cipresseta di Fontegreca is one of the most well-equipped natural areas in the Matese: a forest of centuries-old cypress trees crisscrossed by streams, waterfalls, and shaded paths. There is a €3 entrance fee to the park, which allows for sustainable management of the area. Visitors have access to picnic tables, shaded areas for laying out a towel, public restrooms, and a seasonal shuttle service from the parking lot.

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.

The trail is not an official CAI trail and although the route suggested by koomot is intuitive, the deviation it proposes is risky. In fact, the undergrowth has almost reclaimed the trail, making it difficult and unpredictable. Access to the waterfalls is quite intuitive even if they are also not marked. On site you have to make do to find a location and bathing remains difficult. Exploring a bit you find several pools of freezing water. Despite the difficulty, it remains an enchanting place.

This is the access road to the Matese Regional Park if you come from the north, from Capriati to Volturno. It is a very quiet provincial road, there is no vehicular traffic, completely surrounded by greenery. There are several panoramic points from which you can see the valley where Gallo Matese rises on one side and the Volturno valley on the other.

The Lete stream produces small waterfalls and natural pools where it is possible to swim.

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.
