W.end Trek al Giardino degli dei - Parco Naz. del Pollino

The Trekking Astrofili Physis Association organizes a weekend dedicated to nature, trails, stars, and good food on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 October. You will be protagonists of one of the most beautiful excursions in the Pollino National Park, discovering the kingdom of the spectacular loricati pine trees, giant trunks with white "skin" that are witnesses of past eras at over 2000m above sea level.
