Parco dei Nebrodi

The park extends over 70 kilometers along the Tyrrhenian coast, connecting the Madonie and Peloritani mountains to form the Siculan Apennines chain.

The name Nebrodi comes from the Greek word 'Nebros', meaning fawn, reflecting the past abundance of deer in these mountains before the 19th century.

The park territory includes 23 municipalities that maintain traditional farming practices and produce local specialties using ingredients from the surrounding forests.

Eight main attractions require hiking through woodland paths, with San Fratello serving as an optimal base for exploring multiple sites within the park.

The park contains the Tassita Forest, a 50-hectare area with ancient Taxus baccata trees that provide habitat for rare badger populations.
