Calabria National Park

(Local Name: Parco Nazionale della Calabria) In the Sila range three regions are under protection orders and together form the "Parco Nazionale della Calabria". They are the regions around the town of Fossiata and Monte Gariglione and a part of the Aspromonte. The commonest tree found in the forests is the pina iaricio, which gives the landscape a northern appearance. The fauna is worthy of note: in addition to the Apennine wolf, the Bonetti eagle and the rare black woodpecker may be seen. There are good roads within the national park.
