20의 코센자가지 명소 & 주요 장소

One of a kind, this majestic ancient forest in central Calabria has survived intact since the 17th century in the shadow of its imposing "patriarchs," creating a magnificent natural spectacle. https://fondoambiente.it/luoghi/i-giganti-della-sila

Lake Cecita is one of the artificial basins that has adapted best to the Sila landscape

After a ride around the lake... time for some serious charging. The local Patate della Sila IGP is not only legendary in taste, but also fuel, which grows thanks to the same water you just passed. Grown right next to the trail, it ends up on your plate before you even have time to take off your helmet😅. Perfect after the kilometers you've racked up.

The Ciclovia dei Parchi della Calabria runs around the lake. Although the entire Ciclovia is considered a route for experienced cyclists due to the significant elevation gain, the lake section is characterized by a more accessible profile. The sections are dominated by flat or gentle climbs, making it suitable for cyclists with average physical fitness. The surface is mixed, alternating between asphalt and gravel sections (natural surfaces and dirt roads), typical of cycle routes immersed in nature. For this reason, a trekking, gravel or mountain bike is most suitable.

Photos from this place best reflect the natural and wild character of Lago di Cecita, whose surface is located at 1,143 meters above sea level. The forest not only does not end at the water line, but actually penetrates it. Tall conifers and lower shrubs create a dense wall of greenery, the lowest parts of which grow out of the lake's depths. It looks as if nature perfectly incorporated the body of water into the existing forest, creating a harmonious, forest-water scenery.

A nicely laid out route, but with some shortcomings: 1. Very uneven surface. With luggage or a racing bike, it's much easier to ride on the road; unfortunately, you get a lot of jolts here. 2. The narrow path makes visibility difficult in many places, and you share the path with oncoming cyclists and pedestrians—which can make it dangerous. 3. Furthermore, there are small, unmarked bollards in the middle of the path in many places. These are particularly dangerous with panniers on your bike.
