RÉSUMÉ DES CARACTÉRISTIQUES NATURELLES Le Parc national du Cilento, d’une superficie de 181 041 hectares, est situé au centre-sud de l’Italie, dans la région de Campanie, province de Salerne. Vingt zones centrales couvrent ensemble 26 000 hectares (c’est-à-dire 14%) et le reste de la superficie se partage entre la zone tampon (50 000 hectares) et la zone de transition (105 000 hectares). Cilento se trouve dans la province biogéographique de végétation sclérophylle méditerranéenne. La région est caractérisée par des montagnes, des vallées et une zone littorale. Elle est limitée au nord et à l’est par le Vallo di Diano et, à l’ouest et au sud par le littoral de la mer Tyrrhénienne. Le relief est le résultat de la collision de plaques tectoniques, de la formation de montagnes et de l’érosion fluviale et marine. À l’est et au nord se trouvent les montagnes les plus hautes, composées de calcaires et de dolomites stratifiées. On y trouve le mont Alberni (1742 m), le mont Cocuzzo (1411 m), le mont Motola (1700 m) et le mont Cervati (1898 m).

  • Guided Small Group Cycling Tour
    Guided small group cycling tour Amalfi Coast & Cilento Cycling the Coast of the Sirens Enjoy the best of southern Italy: from the unknown Cilento to the dramatic Amalfi Coast TRIP NOTES 2020 © Genius Loci Travel. All rights reserved. [email protected] | www.genius-loci.it ***GENIUS LOCI TRAVEL - The Real Spirit Of Italy*** Guided small group cycling tour INTRODUZIONE The regions of Amalfi and the Cilento have been known as a paradise on earth since ancient times. The Greeks built some of their most impressive temples here and under the Romans they formed part of ‘Campania Felix’, or the Happy Land. When travelling here, one easily becomes overwhelmed by the well-known cultural and natural attractions of the famous ‘Costiera Amalfitana’ with its towering cliffs and picturesque coves. However, the Cilento region south of Salerno, now one of Italy’s biggest National Parks, where the coastline bulges out into an expanse of mountainous landmass, is also well worth a visit. This tour gives you the opportunity to discover both the busy, touristy Amalfi and the quiet, peaceful Cilento. Here in the Cilento National Park you pass through world-famous cultural sites that are UNESCO World Heritage listed, such as Velia and Paestum, and visit some of the nicest medieval villages in the area, both along the coast and slightly inland, where the traditional way of life is still evident. All these attractions are connected by great well-paved and quiet roads, ideal for cycling. Of course there will also be plenty of time to enjoy the splendid beaches and wonderful food on offer.

(iii) Consultations: 12 external reviewers. (iv) Field Visit: J. Marsh, April, 1998. 2. SUMMARY OF NATURAL VALUES The site, comprising 181,041 ha. is located in central-southern Italy, in the Campania region, and Salerno Province. Of this total size 20 core zones make up 26,000ha (i.e. 14%) with the remainder being in the buffer zone (50,000ha) and transitional zone (105,000h) categories. Cilento is in the Mediterranean Sclerophyll biogeographical province. The area is characterised by mountains, valleys and coast. It is bounded on the north and east by the Vallo di Diano, and on the west and south by the coast and Tyrrhenian Sea. The relief results from the collision of tectonic plates, mountain building, and fluvial and marine erosion. In the east and north are the highest mountains, composed of limestone with stratified dolomites. They include Mount Alberni (1742m), Mount Cocuzzo (1411m), Mount Motola (1700m), and Mount Cervati (1898m). This area is separated from the western region by several river valleys, notably that of the River Calore. In the western area, the highest massif is Mount Sacro or Gelbison (1705m), composed of limestone, quartz, sandstone, conglomerate and clay.
