Very beautiful reservoir, located directly on the Sentiero Italia

An artificial lake with an oblong shape that bathes the provinces of Cosenza, Catanzaro and Crotone, Lake Ampollino was the first artificial reservoir to be created in Sila. The construction of the barrage began in 1916 and ended in 1927. It has two main tributaries, the Ampollino and Savuto rivers. On the banks of the lake a small tourist area was born over the years including the Sila villages of Trepidò, Villaggio Palumbo Sila, Caprara, Villaggio Baffa, Villaggio Lopez and Villaggio Belcastro.

Road with little traffic with a beautiful view of the Presila valleys

Town bar right on the main street with an assortment of various types of croissants, calzones and more, delicious coffee

All in all, well-maintained roads, very few cars and always gentle slopes make the lake and its surroundings very fun for racing bikes.

Very large and little anthropized lake. It almost seems like an abandoned place, but in reality in high season it is quite busy. Nearby there are several farmhouses.

Taverna is a splendid town which was the birthplace of the famous seventeenth-century painter Mattia Preti, whose numerous works it houses in the churches and the civic museum. Absolutely unmissable.

This is the suggestive Ampollino lake, a gem set in the heart of the Sila National Park. If you are following the itinerary of the Parchi della Calabria cycle route, you have the opportunity to pass through here as well, admiring its beauty. The Ampollino lake, although it is an artificial basin, offers a breathtaking view and an atmosphere of serenity. Its crystal clear waters and shores framed by lush forests create a fascinating natural spectacle.
