National Park of Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni
Located in the heart of Campania, extending from the Tyrrhenian coast to the foot of the Campania - Lucano Apennines, the Cilento Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park, established in 1991, reveals its most varied morphologies, both sweet and sour, carved by lively streams and villages clinging to the rocks or lying on the banks.
The Park includes the peaks of Alburni, Cervati and Gelbison, as well as the coastal buttresses of M. Bulgheria and M. Stella, but the greatest ecological peculiarity of the territory is given by the presence of unaltered environments, authentic, alternating with highly anthropomorphic areas and densely populated valleys. The carsism of the Cilento lands, the modelling of the terrestrial surface of caves and creeks has favored the primitive settlements, of which tangible traces are preserved and scattered both along the coastal caves between Palinuro and Scario, both in the internal ones located along the ancient ridge paths of the mountain massifs such as the Castelcivita Caves, and in the Vallo di Diano with the Grotte dell'Angelo and Pertosa.
Uncontaminated areas, biodiversity are these elements of the National Park of Cilento Vallo di Diano and Alburni, whose identifying symbol is the Primula Palinuri.
