In the north-east of Campania Felix, separated from the Campania Apennines by the valley of the Medio Volturno, the massif of the Trebulani Mountains rises, also known as the Colli Caprensi.
It is an artificial lake, created in the 1960s to power the electricity station of Capriati al Volturno.
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.
It rises from Lake Matese and in the first part of its way, it is characterised by cascades and differences in heights.
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.
It rises at the foot of Mounts Trebulani, at 86 meters above sea level, in the territory of Calvi Risorta.
On its shores violets grew, and this is why the Greeks called it Clanis. The River Clanis rises on Mounts Tifatini.
