This is where the summit meadows end and make room for vegetation which, as you will notice, is not typical of our woods, as it is made up of conifers, dominated by the black pine tree.
The presence of this foreign plant species is the result of reforestation carried out especially in the 1970s to stabilize the mountain slopes following the depopulation of the mountainous areas and the abandonment of the agricultural and pastoral activities.
Nowadays, the restoration of native vegetation is encouraged by implementing interventions to thin out the conifer woods and allow the species that would naturally have grown, such as Turkey oaks, downy oaks and hornbeams, to regain ground.
