View of the Gulf of Policastro

Highlight • Viewpoint

At the beginning of the summit ridge there is a beautiful view of the Gulf and San Giovanni a Piro, the view here is more beautiful than from the actual summit

April 5, 2025,Wanderung mit Meersicht auf den Monte Bulgheria 🐕🥾

The hike is one of the few that is reasonably well-marked and not overgrown with thorn bushes.

The lower section is shaded by holm oak forest, while the upper section is easy and offers great views.

Almost no marking.
The shepherd dogs are also a topic again and again, but this time we were lucky. The last time in 2019 the encounters were not so harmless. The animals were as big as small ponies. On the way back we wanted to bypass a steep passage and …
