San Pietro Avellana — Bosco di Collemeluccio Nature Trail
Molise
Collemeluccio's beech forest, part of the transnational UNESCO 'Ancient Beech Forests of Europe' listing, has been left largely unmanaged since it was declared a reserve in 1971. A marked nature trail from San Pietro Avellana loops through centuries-old trees, quiet even by Molise's already-quiet standards.
