Bosco di Collemeluccio
Molise
Recognised as part of Italy's UNESCO Man and Biosphere network, this small forest has escaped centuries of heavy logging that shaped most of Molise's woodland, leaving stands of old, tall beech and fir that feel notably different from the coppiced forests nearby. Deer and wild boar are commonly encountered along the quieter tracks.
