モンテロドゥーニのおすすめランニングルート

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 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.
