The Castle Hill, on the slope that descends to Tezze and on the slope down to the Quartier Mantovano, hosts a series of clusters of limited size composed mainly of Robinia pseudoacacia, Quercus robur and some Sambucus nigra.
Along the east side, between via and via Calpeda Wells area, however, is more humid, with the presence of several wells and cisterns and also the sliding of a small stream on the surface. The wettest area has the typical vegetation of the cooler valleys with willow and alder (taken in the first picture), while areas with higher and drier slopes are covered with robinieti sometimes pure, robinieto like the picture below.
area there are numerous vineyards and the variety of environments, with meadows and woods alternate with vineyards that sometimes dried, sometimes moist, produces a very complex ecosystem , where they find their deer habitat, badgers, squirrels and many herbaceous species vegetate. From the perspective of the hilly landscape is very impressive with plenty of space here, fortunately, still free from buildings.
The area is crossed by the ancient "City of Fountains Road", now abandoned, but the water wealth of the area is witnessed by many wells dug in compact volcanic rock that make up the slope of the hill to the plains of San Matteo Tezze.
