After leaving Portella dell'Obolo (1,503m asl), go downhill along the road SP 168 and, after about 1 km, turn left and follow a road which, asphalted only in its first stretch, runs along the edge of an oak woodland. According to the slope exposure and consequently to the soil structure, the Beech and the Turkey oak are in these places entirely integrated and intermixed: the undergrowth is very rich and mainly represented by the Holly, which in some stretches reaches a considerable size, but also by butcher's brooms, blackberry bushes, hawthorns, and wild pears.
