The territory of 3000 hectares
is mainly covered by forests and cultivations. This corner
of paradise houses an infinity of vegetal species, flowers
of thousands of colours design the fields and the undergrowth,
evergreen and caducous forest trees. The morphological aspect
of this area is typical of the Tuscia, with a big drop of
more than 500 m between the peak of Mount Rufeno and the the
lower hills with the river Paglia. In the area live: fallow-deer,
wild boar, badger, porcuspine, fox and marten, horned owl,
sparrow owl, jay and woodpecker. On its south-western borders,
where the river Paglia runs, birds of all kinds find shelter.
Some few country cottages offer beds for about 20 persons
in total and there is a "trattoria" where you may eat typical
forest products. Excursions and trekking for all ages with
differentiated routes and distances. (Informations and assistance
