Spectacular nature
ON THE GROUND, OVER THE GROUND, UNDERGROUND ...
nature and parks The Park of Monte Cucco lies on the north-eastern border of the Region of Umbria and is demarcated by the Apennine ridge, with the peak of Monte Cucco towering to 1,566 m, by the ancient course of the Via Flaminia, and by the Rivers Sentino and Chiascio.
The landscape of the Monte Cucco massif unfolds with great variety: narrow valleys are succeeded by rocky spires, pinnacles and terraces, together with canyons and clefts. These ancient gorges give a touch of harshness, which is offset by the soft, gentle slopes with their hollows and pleasant valleys. In this wonderful, natural setting, beautiful forests of ancient beech-trees, towering to the sky, alternate with woods of ilex, dominating the cliffs and limestone precipices.
