Subjects : The Pollino National Park offers so much to the landscape that is the macro photographer, but also and especially to those who love wildlife. Of note in this last category: the wolf, fox, wild cat, wild boar, porcupine and squirrel southern nocturnal and diurnal raptors such as owls and eagles, Egyptian vulture, the griffon vulture, amphibians such as the Triton crested or the spectacled salamander, among reptiles the four-lined snake, viper snake and leopard. Among the diverse flora pine stands naturally cuirassed, seen on European territory only in two spots: this and in parts of the Balkans.

Recommended equipment : The equipment is designed according to the subject photographic output. For the landscape of course a good wide angle is a must, supported by graduated filters and a polarizer. For the fauna are effective and a 70-200 fixed perspective a bit longer birds. Macro Lenses shorter or longer absolutely necessary for the spring season.

Best months : Spring and summer for macro and wildlife in general. Last winter there have been cases of sightings of wolves even close. The winter is the best time to capture the beautiful pine trees covered with snow loricati along the ridges.

How to get there : The park is very large and is split across multiple areas, I describe below how to reach the central part where there are the main peaks. Salerno-Reggio Calabria. Campotenese exit and follow to Round After a few kilometers there is a crossroads (characterized by a votive chapel and a statue of the Virgin Mary) in which it continues to the right until the plans where there is the refuge de Gasperi. For those coming from the Ionian zone, leave the SS 106 up to Villapiano Lido and continue Frascineto, then take the A3 wine Campotenense and continue as described above.

Visits : The access of course is free.

Notes : Of note are the many rivers that mark the territory of the park. First of all it definitely is the Raganello that creates the marvelous gorges where you can do canyoning, climbing and some railways. Following last but not least there are the Lao, famous destination for rafting and river Argentino.
