Bosco di Sant'Antonio

Highlight • Forest

It is a place anciently considered sacred and dedicated to Jupiter, it extends between Monte Rotella and Monte Pizzalto. The Bosco di Sant'Antonio became a reserve in 1985, with an extension of 550 hectares, and is included in the Maiella National Park. It is located in the locality "la Difesa": this name indicates an area where the cutting of trees was prohibited and where grazing was only allowed for cattle and horses. Therefore the forest was used to shelter livestock during the summer heat or during storms.

In the undergrowth there is holly, rose arvense, juniper, gooseberry currant, laurel daphne and hawthorn. For lovers of cross-country skiing, among the beech trees and on the plateau below there is one of the most beautiful slopes in Abruzzo. In summer, however, you can take walks on the paths that wind through the beech forest.
