The Verrino river has its source in the territory of Capracotta, in the locality of Ara Petrecca, at an altitude of 1250 meters above sea level, in the territory of Agnone it flows into the Trigno river, at an altitude of 450 meters above sea level.
The Verrino is a torrential watercourse, whose flow rate shows significant variations during the year, the basin covers a total of 700 hectares and is 24 kilometers long.
After the long bridge of Agnone, the river loses its torrential character and then flows into the river Trigno in Sprondasino. Inserted in the list of the Ministry of the Environment (Natura 2000), due to its rare ecosystem, it is a zone subject to special protection (ZPS). In the first stretch of the river has a difference in height of about 300 m in just 4 km, here the orography of the places makes the formation of a series of waterfalls and cascades particularly suggestive. The presence of an almost intact and uncontaminated fauna and flora make the upper part of the Verrino river one of the most beautiful and naturally preserved places in Molise.
