This is one of the most interesting naturalistic areas in Tuscany, and in fact in Italy, with typical alpine morphology. Environmental diversity has created an incredible faunistic, floristic and vegetational variety while erosion has led to extraordinarily beautiful phenomena such as the Karstic complex of mount Corchia, the Grotte del Vento caves and the abysses (Roversi reaches 1200 m in depth). Important archaeological finds (Grotta di Equi, Grotta all’Onda) reveal human presence in the area as far back at the Paleolithic period. The climate, flora and fauna are markedly diversified depending on elevation and slope face (toward the sea or toward Garfagnana). In particular, rare alpine species are present (the Alpuan fern and the alpine crow, a plant and a bird, respectively, are the symbols of the park). Also present in the park, the golden eagle, the peregrine falcon and shy alpine hoofed animals, such as the mufflon, which can rarely be viewed up close.
