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.
On its shores violets grew, and this is why the Greeks called it Clanis. The River Clanis rises on Mounts Tifatini.
For the ancients, it was the river of the myth, which gave forgetfulness to whoever drunk its water.
The longest river of Southern Italy with its 175 kilometres rises in Molise, at Rocchetta a Volturno and runs for a long way in the Apennine region, of which, after the Ponte 25 archi, marks the border with Campania.
Once known as Lake of Carinola, it is a volcanic lake at the foot of mount Massico, in the municipality of Falciano del Massico.
It starts in the area of Frosinone from the confluence between the Liri, which first crosses Abruzzo and Lazio, and the Gari, which rises at Cassino and is often called Liri-Garigliano.
It rises from Lake Matese and in the first part of its way, it is characterised by cascades and differences in heights.
