A site like no other, this majestic, ancient woodland in the centre of the Calabria region has been thriving intact since the 17th century in the shade of its imposing “patriarchs”, giving rise to an impressive spectacle of nature.

Itinerary

We offer a guided tour of the Reserve of the “Giants of the Sila” - a monumental woodland and a living testimony of the ancient Silan forest, preserving over 60 specimens of 350 years old larch pine trees and mountain maples that are almost 45 meters in height, with trunks 2 metres wide. In this extraordinary biogenetic reserve, which is now part of the Sila National Park, human intervention has the sole purpose of allowing nature to take its course. The tour lasts 1 hour minimum.
