Overview
Bosco Mazzocca, a verdant oasis near Riccia, extends over 450 hectares and presents a diverse landscape of cerri (Turkey oaks), frassini (ash trees), robinie (black locusts), and bossi (box trees). This expansive woodland, known for its unspoiled beauty, has been recognized since the 18th century as one of the largest in the Kingdom of Naples. The forest provides a habitat for a variety of wildlife, including the peregrine falcon, European robin, fox, wild boar, and hare. Hiking, mountain biking, and birdwatching are popular activities, with trails catering to all skill levels. The Bosco delle Favole (Fairy Tale Wood), an educational trail featuring eco-sustainable installations, introduces visitors to local legends and traditions. Visitors can enjoy the equipped picnic areas with benches, tables, and barbecue facilities. For those wishing to extend their stay, camping areas are available. The small church dedicated to San Giovanni Gualberto, the patron saint of foresters, adds a spiritual touch to this natural retreat. Bosco Mazzocca, together with the nearby Castelvetere forest complex in Val Fortore, constitutes a Site of Community Importance, emphasizing its ecological value.
