Bosco Difesa Grande

Molise

The name recalls its history as "great defended land", communal woodland long protected from clearance for use as pasture and timber by local villages. Ancient oaks with wide, gnarled canopies dominate the reserve, and the low hills here give distant glimpses of the Adriatic on clear days.
