Vesuvio

Parco Nazionale del Vesuvio, of great geological and historical interest, has been established in order to safeguard the values of the territory, use suitable means to allow a correct integration between man and environment, promote environmental education and scientific research activities.

Vesuvio

The Park was also born from the need to defend the most famous volcano in the world: Vesuvius, a typical example of fence volcano consisting of an external truncated cone, the extinct Mt. Somma, with a crateric perimeter which has been mainly destroyed and in which there is a smaller cone represented by Vesuvius, which is still active. The territory, rich in historical-naturalistic beauties, boasts of a unique agricultural production for the great variety and originality of its tastes.

Parco Nazionale del Vesuvio has prepared two cycling tracks: the first one crossing the Forest Reserve Tirone - Alto Vesuvio and running along the slope of Vesuvius, the second one going from this point to the coppice chestnut tree woods of Mt. Somma.
