摘要

The Pollino National Park, located on the Calabria-Lucanian boundary (Italy), was included in the European Network of UNESCO GEOPARKS in 2015 because it is characterized by notable geodiversity regarding geological-structural, geomorphological, hydrogeological and paleontological peculiarities. In the Pollino UNESCO Global Geopark, 69 Geosites have been defined. The definition of geosite derives from the combination of two words, one Greek “geo” (Earth) and the other Latin “situs” (site) which means geological site or site of geological interest. Geosites have great landscape and environmental value, and their geological characterization and accessibility are particularly important. In this study, we focused on the geosite of Timpa delle Murge, near the village of Terranova del Pollino (PZ) in the Pollino Massif. The Geotourism route, starting from the village of Terranova del Pollino, testifies to the existence of the ocean basin (Tethys) at around 1300 m and its subsequent closure. Along the route it is possible to observe the ophiolitic rocks and a detailed panel, which explains how, by following the geological itinerary described, you are walking on the bottom of what was once an ocean. The Geotourism route is easily practicable with well-developed roads and there are several hotels in the area which make the area attractive for Pollino tourism. The Geoturistic route is valuable from both a touristic and scientific aspects, and for these regions it is important to try to improve its knowledge not only for its territory but also to more distant territories that can benefit of its peculiarities.
