History: the Nebrodi Mountains, together with the Madonie in the west and the Peloritani in the east, form the Appennino siculo (Sicilian Apennine). They face in the north the Tyrrheanian Sea, while their southern border is marked by the Etna, in particular by the river Alcantara and by the high course of the Simeto. The main elements characterizing the natural landscape of the Nebrodi are the asymmetry of each slope, the different shaping of the relief, the very rich vegetation, and the wetlands.
