Parco Avventura Pollino

Parco Avventura Pollino lies among the beech and fir woods of Bosco Magnano near San Severino Lucano, within Pollino National Park. The forest setting links this contemporary attraction with the wider landscape of the Lucanian Pollino.

Why it matters

Bosco Magnano is one of the natural areas around San Severino Lucano, alongside the Frido gorges and the higher Pollino massif. The woodland park adds a contemporary recreational layer to a landscape shaped by forests, mountain water and settlement.

What to notice

Beech and fir give the site its wooded character. Beyond the trees, the valley opens toward San Severino Lucano, whose historic landmarks include the mills, Santa Maria degli Angeli and the sanctuary of the Madonna di Pollino.

Context and history

San Severino Lucano was established toward the end of the fifteenth century and named for the Sanseverino family. Cistercian monks later contributed to rural development in the area. The nineteenth century brought brigandage and its repression to the district. Bosco Magnano remains part of the natural setting of the Lucanian side of Pollino National Park.
