National Sila’s Park: Sila is a marvellou upland plain and it has singular characteristics that makes it "different" from the rest of mountains. Since March 2001 this  immense upland plain is to a large extent defended by "National Sila’s Park". Forests that are lost to sight, fragrant pine-woods, old chestnut-tree full of fruits, variegated alder and beech trees stains and, finally, the magnificent silver fir, precious figure of a mysterious and fascinating microcosm. Numerous tarns, crystalline springs, noisy rills break up the splendid solitude of forests inhabited by the numerous animal and floral species. A natural casket that Calabria keeps.(km 50)
