The Adam's Rock
The rock is nestled in the Bosco delle Fate (The Fairies' Wood), an ancient forest of beech and fir trees that surrounds the base of Monte Penna. This area is famous for its massive limestone boulders that have detached from the mountain over millennia, covered in thick green moss and ferns, creating a landscape that feels like a scene from a fantasy novel.
