The Tronco Cavo (literally “hollow trunk”) is a centenarian beech that stands in the depths of the forests of Matese. The most remarkable characteristic is its trunk which maintains unaltered the external structure but it is empty on the inside. One can step into the tree and follow with the eyes the branches extending in every direction. Its somber and majestic appearance awake natural symbolism in many folkloric tales.
