Lago Ampollino

Calabria

Set in the wilder, less-developed Sila Piccola area, this reservoir sees far fewer visitors than Lago Arvo or Lago Cecita, its shores fringed by uninterrupted pine and beech forest. Wolves have been documented in the surrounding forest by camera traps in recent monitoring efforts. The relative remoteness makes it a good choice for those seeking solitude on the Sila plateau.
