The Nebrodi Park, established on August 4, 1993, is a protected natural area that covers almost 86,000 hectares, making it the largest natural park in Sicily. Located in the Sicilian Apennines, the Nebrodi Mountains represent a breathtaking portrait of the island's scenic beauty. With peaks exceeding 1,800 meters, such as the majestic Mount Soro, and other striking summits like Serra del Re and Monte Castelli, the park offers nature lovers many opportunities to explore.
The Nebrodi landscape is a living testament to nature's artistry. It's a symphony of rugged slopes and lush vegetation, with humid environments at higher altitudes adding a touch of mystery. The geological diversity of the Nebrodi, with its clayey, sandy, and limestone rocks, paints a picture of varied beauty. The valleys, carved by rivers flowing into the Tyrrhenian Sea, are like nature's grand ballrooms, adding a touch of grandeur to the scenery.
Divided into four zones, each with unique rules and limitations for nature conservation, the Nebrodi Park offers a diverse range of experiences. From area A, an integral reserve with beech and oak forests, to zones B and C, with woodland formations, pastures, and agricultural areas of landscape value, to zone D, which constitutes the outer strip of the park, favoring a gradual transition toward wilder regions.
