Tips from the Community
Lago Sirino (Nemoli) Origin and Nature: Located in the territory of Nemoli (on the slopes of the Monte Sirino massif, in Basilicata), it is a basin of glacial or tectonic origin, fed by underground springs and small watercourses. Historical and Economic Function: Always linked to the rural and silvo-pastoral life of the Valle del Noce, in the past it was also exploited for its fish resources and for its proximity to commercial and mountain routes between the Tyrrhenian coast and the Lucanian interior. Tourist Development: Starting from the second half of the twentieth century, the lake and the surrounding wooded area have progressively established themselves as an important tourist and naturalistic destination, known for outdoor activities, sport fishing, and accommodation facilities that enhance the Apennine landscape.

It looks like you're in Trentino, but it's actually Basilicata. The cycle path that passes a little above, on the route of the old railway, is beautiful.

In September 2023 it doesn't seem complete and it's not easy to always follow the trail, but still a nice valorization project.
