Park of Subasio is made up of the mountain system taking its name from the same mount which is maybe the most famous one in Umbria. It rises almost isolated at the Southern end of the chain and delimits Valle Umbra in the North. The relief of Monte Subasio includes the tops of Civitelle, Sermolla, Colle San Rufino, Pietralunga besides the main mount. The relief and the Park are delimited in the North from the River Tescio, in the North-East from the stream Chiona and in the South-West from an ideal line linking the two tops of the massif where Assisi and Spello rise. The top differs from the steep slopes in the Eastern side because it is plain and presents some evident Karst phenomena. The slopes of the Subasio are covered from a vegetation which can be divided into three parts: the first one is characterized by olive-trees which extend from Assisi to Spello and from Costa di Trex to Armenzano and San Giovanni. The second strip is characterized by a natural arboreal vegetation of Turkey Oaks and Wooly Oaks, Hop Hornbeams, Manna-ashes, Maples, Beeches and Holm Oaks. Plantations of resinous plants, due to re-afforestations, characterize the third strip together with peak grasses for pastures. However, the great variety of the natural environment gives hospitality to a poor fauna even if hunting was banished several years ago. Wolves are occasionally seen, Golden Eagles inhabited this territory till the Sixties together with rock partridges. The actual management of the mountain helps the new colonisation of the partridge, the wild cat, the squirrel, the wood pigeon, the magpie, the jay, the porcupine, the badger, the fox, the weasel, the beech-marten and the wild bear. Among predatory birds on the Eastern side there are the buzzard, the goshawk, the scops owl.
