Faggeta di Canfaito, Monte San Vicino
Marche
Canfaito is a stand of veteran beech — some four centuries old — set around an open pasture at 1,000 m below the pyramid of Monte San Vicino. Level paths wander between the great grey trunks; in autumn the whole wood turns gold and orange and draws photographers from across the region.
