バジリカータの絶景の山頂・トップ20

A 21-meter-high statue has stood atop Monte San Biagio since 1965. It is considered a landmark of Maratea. However, its erection was controversial among local politicians at the time. Originally, an iron cross stood on this spot, commemorating the defense against Napoleon's troops in 1806. It was later replaced by this statue of Jesus, whose face does not bear the typical features of Jesus, as his hair and beard are short. He looks more like an angel—a savior who points with open arms to the Creator in heaven and with both feet firmly planted on the ground, symbolizing the acceptance of sinners.

The refuge is located a few steps from the Madonna del Pollino sanctuary. Behind the refuge is a panoramic balcony overlooking the valley below.

Optimal

It can be reached from the Pino Loricato refuge in Madonna del Pollino, an easy and wonderful route

the hike is marked but not enough, but let's say it's very easy to orient yourself just go straight. it's a fairly open path, only a small stretch covered by trees, so when it's hot it's better to bring a hat. bring something to eat because I don't think there were any refreshment points. fantastic place with a peaceful atmosphere. the day I went, which was June, there were a few insects, but they were harmless.

Beautiful 360° panoramas

Amazing view, one of my favourite views in Pollino National Park. Not a short path to reach the top, and fitness level has to be good

A quiet walk to combine with a picnic at Fontana delle Brecce. Above you can see the abandoned ski lifts
