A short way from the museum, close to the village of Torre Alfina, we find the monumental Sasseto wood, which is not comprised within the borders of the Reserve but is identified as a site of extreme naturalistic value, included in the “Natura 2000” European network.
It consists of a strip of wood, uncut for tens of years, where coexist secular trees having very different characteristics like the ilex and the beech, together with hornbeams, chestnut-trees, maples, oaks, with very rare examples of arboreal holly and a rich and diversified underbrush.
