Frosolone & the Morgia Quadra
Molise
Frosolone, famous for its scissors and blades, sits at 900 m under the Colle dell'Orso plateau. Tracks climb to the karst grassland and the Morgia Quadra, a squared block of pale rock rising from the pasture that draws climbers and gives a view over the Matese, the Mainarde and, on clear days, both seas.
