Abetina di Laurenzana

Basilicata

The Abetina di Laurenzana is a natural stand of silver fir — a tree that has retreated far north elsewhere — mixed with old beech and Turkey oak on the slopes above the Camastra. Easy forest roads and a nature trail loop through it, with the Dolomiti Lucane visible from the clearings.
