Nebrodi

The Nebrodi (Sicilian: Munti Nèbbrudi; Italian: Monti Nebrodi, Italian pronunciation: [ˈnɛːbrodi]; Latin: Nebrōdēs montēs) is a mountain range that runs along the north east of Sicily.

Mount Etna, from which it is separated by the rivers Alcantara and Simeto, forms the range's southern border.

[1] The range mostly made up of sandstone and clay rocks, but include also limestone landscapes, like the Rocche del Crasto where is located the Grotta del Lauro abundant of stalactites and stalagmites .

Much of the mountains are covered by thick forests of cork trees on the lowest slopes giving way to oak and then beech at the higher elevations.

[1] On 4 August 1993 large areas of the Nebrodi Mountains were made into national parkland.
