IN THE MYSTERIOUS WOOD OF THE CHARCOAL BURNERS

Immersed in the wildest valleys of the majella, we will experience an interesting adventure in the mysterious beech grove, among bridges and streams, where it won't be difficult to spot the marvelous fire salamander.
A walk in one of the most beautiful forests of the Majella, once frequented by charcoal burners and woodcutters, where children can see an ancient charcoal kiln and admire the small salamander living undisturbed in this beech forest.
