Monte Polveracchio, Monti Picentini
Campania
Polveracchio (1,790 m) rises between the Sele and Calore valleys in a park famous for its water — the Sele and Tusciano springs both rise nearby. A forest road and path climb from the Acquara di Acerno area through old beech wood to open grassland on top, with the Picentini, the Alburni and, on clear days, the sea in view.
