Contrada Cerrina, Castelcivita

The Alburni Mountains are within the local landscape, with wooded limestone slopes and inland valleys around the Calore Lucano river. The Castelcivita Caves are at the edge of the settlement area and are one of the main natural features of this part of the province. The Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni National Park covers the wider mountain area here. The nearest town of size is Eboli on the plain, while this inland zone is otherwise a chain of small hill and mountain communes. The area is known for karst terrain, caves, forested mountains and inland Campanian villages.
