Bosco Macchione can be found a few miles from Deliceto, between 1.968 ft and 2.952 ft above sea level: it is an uncontaminated area, rich in majestic centuries-old oaks and wild animals, such as squirrels, moles, badgers, hedgehogs, weasels, foxes, stone martens, and wild boars. Bird species include hawks, snipes, blackbirds, woodpeckers, thrushes, kites, wood pigeons and buzzards – they live and nest among the branches of Turkey oaks (Quercus cerris) and downy oaks (Quercus pubescens).

Thanks to its eye-catching colours, scents and sounds, this wood is perfect leisure walks, guided excursions, recreational activities, picnics, etc.

Some old mule tracks lead to an old farmhouse, which used to offer shelter to the shepherds and the forest rangers; it has been recently renovated and now serves as a multipurpose educational facility.
