 7 FRADIS PARK

The Seven Brothers Forest is a protected area which takes the name from its higher mountain: a massive of pink granite with seven major peaks. A legend tells they were seven greedy giants petrified by a goddes they refuse to help. It's a forests of oaks, junipers arbutus-trees and holm-oaks, large 226 square miles populated by sardinian deer (Cervus elaphus corsicanus), golden eagles, boars and a lot of endemic species like the sardinian geotriton (Speleomantes imperialis sarrabusensis), or the wild cat (Felis silvestris lybica). The closer area to Villasimius is the Minni Minni forest easy to recognize by the relays onthe top of the mountain. It's an enchanting woodland in every season, during wintertime seldom snows, the spring covers the undergrowth of scented flowers, especially cyclamens and the fall transfoms this blooming in a mushroom's carpet.
