Beech Forest of Monte Cimino

Faggeta del Monte Cimino, Soriano nel Cimino, VT, Italia

Description

The beech forest, inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, covers 50 hectares of the summit of Mount Cimino, approximately 1,000 m above sea level, in Soriano nel Cimino (VT). In addition to the tallest beech trees of Europe which are centuries old, there is a tower built on the peak in the 1900s by military engineers and a protohistoric site that records a settlement dating to the late Bronze Age (1200-950 B.C.E). The forest is scattered with trachyte rocks of all sizes created by volcanic activity from over a million years ago. One of the many produced by an eruption of the Cimino Volcano is the sasso naticarello, known as the rupe tremante or “trembling rock”, a large oval-shaped mass balanced on a rocky outcrop of the soil on the edge of the forest..
