Extremes places

On the mountain of Frosolone, located between the Valley of Trigno and the Valley of Biferno, in Colle dell'Orso, there is the cliff of Morgia Quadra, so called for its characteristic square shape. In a mountain environment between 1200 and 1300 m.s.l.m., there is one of the most popular places in Molise in Italy for sport climbing. Its rocky walls of gray limestone, variously exposed to the sun in a very ventilated area, are perfect to climb all day long, especially in spring and autumn.

he uncontaminated territory of Carpinone presents us with one of the best known tourist attractions of Molise. Its waterfalls are an example of how a non-invasive management and the will of the locals can bring to the fore the natural environments of which Molise is full. Here in the vicinity of the village, immersed in a lush nature, along rivers and streams, are born the Waterfalls of Carpinone.

he Glacial circles of Monte Miletto are semicircular or semi-elliptical depressions, the result of the glacier that, advancing, digs the rock in front of it. They are dominated upstream by steep rocky walls and partially barred downstream by a threshold (Sella) from which a glacial tongue often departs. On the northern side of Colle Tamburo there are several glacial cirques, which are united by the name of "Circhi Glaciali dell'Aquilania", this area is well observable from the road that connects Cantalupo del Sannio and Roccamandolfi.

The site, of considerable interest and high environmental value, is located within the protected area SIC-ZPS largest region of Molise.
