The park is a protected natural area of Sicily. It&#8217;s a very unique place, showing another side of Sicily that many people probably don&#8217;t know about<\/strong>. At certain moments it really seems to be in some mountain location in northern Europe. <strong> Temperatures<\/strong> here<strong> in winter can reach as low as -10 degrees<\/strong>, given the altitude and vast forests. <strong>In addition to forests here you will also find small lakes, waterfalls and magnificent viewpoints, from which you can also admire the majestic griffon vultures<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip from Topsecretsicily<\/strong>: Given the difficulty of some trails, you can also book hikes if you like. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.it\/s\/?q=nebrodi&amp;searchSource=3&amp;partner_id=2MY8JNV&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;cmp=Nebrodi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">On this site<\/a> you will find possible hikes on foot or in a 4&#215;4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lago Maullazzo e Biviere - Parco dei Nebrodi - 2018 - [4K]\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eTX7Hv88Bjg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nebrodi Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The park was once rich in wildlife<\/strong>, but several species became extinct in the 19th century due to poaching. Species such as the fawn<strong>(The name Nebrodi is in fact derived from the Greek word Nebros, meaning fawn<\/strong>), deer, eagle owl, wolf,bear and many others. Fortunately, since 1993 this corner of paradise has become a protected area, at least it has been possible to limit the damage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Some of these animals have been reintroduced<\/strong>, such as the griffon vulture, golden eagle and roe deer. Roe deer now live in semi-captivity in a designated area of the park, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/Area+del+Capriolo\/@38.0271412,14.7611526,14z\/data=!4m8!1m2!2m1!1sGalati+Mamertino+capriolo!3m4!1s0x1316bdbc4bb45941:0x7271efb1f67806f8!8m2!3d38.024464!4d14.782919\">the Roe Deer Area<\/a>.
