Very beautiful reservoir, located directly on the Sentiero Italia

Crossroads at 1000 meters above sea level where you can climb to the top of Reventino, take the dirt road towards Condró, or continue towards the sea or the mountains.

Small perched village with several fountains and a bar.

The abbey of Santa Maria di Corazzo, among the hills of Castagna, emerges as an ancient fragment of history and spirituality. Founded by the Benedictines in the 11th century and later rebuilt by the Cistercians in the 12th century, this sacred place has withstood the tests of time. However, the signs of the earthquakes of 1638 and 1783 have left its ruins as evidence of a glorious past. Despite being stripped of its works of art, it continues to exert an evocative charm, offering visitors a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in Calabrian history.

Poorly maintained but still looks old

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.

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.
