The Grota di San Ciarico offers a fantastic experience, even if the climb to Buonvicino is demanding. It is a magical cave, away from everything, which conveys a deep feeling of inner peace.

Buonvicino, a municipality in Calabria, has historical roots that extend back to ancient Greece. The name may derive from the Bombaci family or from the dialect word "bombaci," which means "snail." In the past, local communities dedicated themselves to pastoralism and agriculture. This territory was initially divided into three villages: Salvato, Tripidone and Trigiano. Continuous threats, including barbarian invasions, led to the formation of Buonvicino in the 13th century. Today, the town is famous for the statue of San Ciriaco Abate.

If you go up a few meters, on the opposite side of where you see the beech from the path, you will admire it in all its height and grandeur.

A beautiful Beech, imposing and slightly hidden on the right, going down towards the Piano di Lanzo.

The Piano di Lanzo refuge is located at an altitude of 1351 metres. This is an open space restaurant. It is open from Tuesday to Sunday (from 11 to 22) and reservations are always welcome (on +39 3339226433).

La Cresta is located at 1643 meters, inside the Pollino National Park. To get to this point you cross a beautiful beech forest. Continuing north-east you arrive at La calvia, where the beech wood is replaced by an uncovered stone path.
