The Biogenetic Nature Reserve of Vallombrosa is located on the slopes of Pratomagno on the Valdarno side and it spans from 470 to 1440 metres above sea level. In the centre of the woods stands the ancient Abbey, the place of worship for the Benedictine monks. The Vallombrosa forest is a protected natural area of 1,279 hectares, whose management by the Biodiversity Department of the Vallombrosa Carabinieri is aimed at maintaining and increasing the already high level of biodiversity. Together with the nearby Sant'Antonio Forest, it constitutes a 'Special Area of Conservation' within the European "Natura 2000" network.
