Nature, beauty and culture come together

POLLINO NATIONAL PARK

In 1993 the Pollino National Park is finally set up to preserve the enjoyment of the new generations with our spectacular landscapes. The Pollino National Park is a treasure chest where nature, beauty and culture blend with its fresh and clean airs. The park covers 192.265 hectares of territory between Basilicata and Calabria. The heart of the park consists of the Pollino group, which reaches the highest peak with the Serra Dolcedorme is about 36 km from the Tyrrhenian Sea and just 25 km from the Ionian Sea; This closeness to the sea greatly influences the climate by placing it in a Mediterranean climatic context with a rich flora represented by at least 1500 species of the 5600 surveyed in the Italian territory. The Pollino Park is also famous for the presence of the loricate pine,

It is a “living fossil” from an evolutionary point of view. The nucleus is present in Italy, only in the Pollino National Park. The wolf is the true symbol of wild nature and not completely contaminated by the millennial activity of man. You think that when he was given up for extinct in Italy, he survived the Pollino and a few other mountain massifs of the Apennines. Elusive, intelligent, prudent, cunning is practically invisible even if it passes us closer than we can imagine. The historical centers of the Pollino area are rich in little-known and hidden works. The historical sedimentation of Greece, Latin and many other peoples has left little traces in dialects, traditions, art and architecture. A good guide will help you discover them.
