I am in Rome and there are only four hours away by car to see the green of the Lucan side of the Pollino National Park appear.
I have come so far to 'reoxygenate' particularly attracted by the vegetation and dry climate of this region.

With the desire to carry out an educational trip in the Bosco Rubbio Oriented Nature Reserve. Located exactly in the municipality of Francavilla In Sinni, repeatedly classified as ZPS (Special Protection Zone) within the Natura 2000 Network, the Bosco Rubbio reserve constitutes one of more than 130 reserves. natural of Italy.

Ideal for seeing animal and plant species that, by geographical location and climate are not so easy to find, such as, for example, the white spruce that grows spontaneously in this park.

One of the curiosities of the Rubbio Reserve is the seasonal lake Lake Erba, on whose surface grow lush plants typical of wetlands and that can be seen only at decisive times of the year since the water level varies with the seasons.

As for the fauna, significant is the presence of the buzzer hawk that feeds on insects, small mamifers, birds, amphibians and, curiously, is honey-greedy.

The main objective of the reserve, established in 1972, is the protection of the beech-abetine tree species typical of the Lucan side of Pollino.
It is known that the farms in the area are of excellent quality.

Here you can taste the tasty raw materials of the territory worthy of complement the beautiful nature.
