NATURA 2000 SITE
The biodiversity of a unique forest
Part of the territory of Bettona is listed as a SCI, Site of Community Importance, included in the Natura 2000 network, protected areas of considerable importance at the European level for the conservation of biodiversity.
The SCI is located between Gualdo Cattaneo and Bettona and remains constantly above cultivated areas. Many are the ditches and streams that run through both slopes. The presence of very special and rare plant and animal species make the forest extremely attractive, with dense forest and lush undergrowth.
SPRINGS OF MOUNT LAURO
Mineral waters
The territory of Bettona is rich in water, from rivers to ditches and countless springs. The most famous is that of Monte Lauro, with its farraginous waters used until the early 1900s for gastroenteric cures.
Currently, from the springs one descends to the Mineral Water area, a green reception area once used for health cures and stays. Waterfalls, streams, fit into the dense vegetation that allows for paths
