In the north-east of Campania Felix, separated from the Campania Apennines by the valley of the Medio Volturno, the massif of the Trebulani Mountains rises, also known as the Colli Caprensi.
The extinct volcano of Roccamonfina is the heart of the park that protects since 1993 a territory of great naturalistic value from Campania Felix up to the border with Lazio. Eleven thousand hectares of volcanic rocks and limestone, streams and lush vegetation, dotted with ancient hamlets keeping alive the imprint of their past and the heritage of their identities.
Although its name derives from the Oscan word tifata, which means holm oak, Mount Tifata is largely barren, except for the woods surrounding the northern side.
On its shores violets grew, and this is why the Greeks called it Clanis. The River Clanis rises on Mounts Tifatini.
It is an artificial lake, created in the 1960s to power the electricity station of Capriati al Volturno.
With a surface of over 1500 square kilometers, the limestone massif of Matese stretches between Molise and Campania and falls within the territory of four provinces.
It is one of the favourite stopping points in the long spring migration from Africa to Central Eastern Europe on the Tyrrhenian route.
