Riserva naturale Monte Navegna e Monte Cervia

The reserve spans 3,563 hectares between Lake Salto and Turano Lake, featuring mountain forests, meadows, and ancient chestnut groves across nine municipalities.

Established in 1988, this protected area includes multiple archaeological sites and an ancient Roman bridge that served as a post station for transhumance.

The reserve territory maintains traditional agricultural practices, including the cultivation of the Cicolano Red Chestnut, which received Protected Geographical Indication status.

Visitors can access interactive maps, information centers, and marked trails throughout the reserve, with spring and autumn offering the most favorable conditions.

The reserve contains three distinct geological zones: mountain areas with calcareous-marly outcrops, hilly sections with sandstone formations, and valley bottoms with mixed terrain.
