A walk to Monte Gelbison is a natural choice if you are in the Cilento Nature Reserve. Even before Christ was born, pilgrims from all over the area walked the holy mountain paths up to the Greek temple perched on the mountaintop. The temple’s thick walls can still be admired from the current church’s crypt.
The Cilento National Park covers 181,000 hectares and is one of Italy’s largest nature reserves. It was founded in 1991 and in 1997 was included on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
