Parco naturale regionale della Gola della Rossa e di Frasassi

The limestone formations and deep gorges of this 10,026-hectare reserve shape the largest protected zone in the Marche region.

The establishment of the park in 1997 marked a commitment to preserve the environment and geological formations of the Apennine Mountains.

Medieval settlements, monasteries, and religious sanctuaries, including the Frasassi Sanctuary, reflect the historical development of human presence in this area.

The park maintains 35 marked trails for hiking and mountain biking, connecting natural formations with historical landmarks throughout the protected area.

The park houses 12,000 common bent-wing bats and contains Moehringia papulosa, a plant species found only in these specific gorges.
