Walk · 1 h 30 · Free · Ancient beech forest on the summit of Monte Cimino, above Soriano nel Cimino, part of the UNESCO primeval beech forests of Europe

On top of Monte Cimino, at about 1,050 metres, above Soriano nel Cimino, grows an ancient beech forest that UNESCO included in 2017 among the primeval and ancient beech forests of Europe, a World Heritage site. It is half an hour by car from Caprarola and Bomarzo. The paths run beneath the beeches, among blocks of volcanic stone, and in autumn the forest turns red.
