A rare type of cypress is present here, as it is the only wood in Italy with this type of cypress (horizontalis).

Hiking
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 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.
