Von mehreren herausragenden Sehenswürdigkeiten des Cilento kann ich leider keine Aussicht zeigen: Der Tag von #33214 war durchwachsen, am Monte Stella war ich im Regen (die prachtvolle Vegetation sorgte dennoch für eine wunderschöne Wanderung), beim Torre de Velia und den dortigen beeindruckenden Ausgrabungen gab es kräftige Schauer, am nächsten Vormittag am Monte Gelbison (per Fahrstraße erreichbar) zwar Sonne am bebauten Gipfel, aber ringsum Wolken - Ihr seht, ich hatte eine gute Zeit. Am Nachmittag lockte mich der Wanderführer tief in die Wälder. Am Karstloch "Grava di Vesalo" vorbei führt noch ein guter Forstweg, die Fortsetzung war dann aber von Dornengestrüpp überwachsen und verlor sich dann ganz. Nach einer halben Stunde querfeldein durch den steilen Buchenwald (alles auf der empfohlenen Wanderroute) kam ich dann erleichtert an dieser Stelle ans Licht. Angesichts des Geländes ersparte ich mir aber den Abstecher zum Monte Caravallo und zog direkt, weiterhin weglos, aber jetzt einfach, zum etwas höheren Monte Raialunga weiter.
Unfortunately, I can't show any views of several outstanding sights in Cilento: The day of #33214 was mixed, at Monte Stella I was in the rain (the magnificent vegetation nevertheless made for a wonderful hike), at Torre de Velia and the impressive excavations there there were heavy showers, the next morning at Monte Gelbison (accessible by road) there was sun on the built-up summit but clouds all around - you see, I had a good time. In the afternoon, the hiking guide lured me deep into the woods. There is a good forest path past the ‘Grava di Vesalo’ karst hole, but the continuation was then overgrown by thorn bushes and then disappeared completely. After half an hour of cross-country walking through the steep beech forest (all on the recommended hiking route), I was relieved to reach the light at this point. In view of the terrain, however, I spared myself the detour to Monte Caravallo and continued directly, still without a path, but now easier, to the slightly higher Monte Raialunga.

It was at Easter and my tour had started in Palermo. I had rain throughout the whole of Calabria, but once I reached Maratea, snow was appearing on the mountains.
In Novi Velia it was raining heavily, but I was willing to try, hoping in an improvement: after all, this is not Scotland. I asked in the village whether I could expect to be blocked by snow higher up. The answer was: "Do not worry, the road is kept clean because of the sanctuary on the top."
Actually, they were not well-informed about their home mountain: at 1300-1400 I found myself blocked in deep snow (the heavy rain had become heavy snowfall), and in the descent, to avoid risks, I pushed the bicycle for a long stretch.
Only later I got to know that the sanctuary opens in May... One has to plan seasons carefully here as well as in Granada!

P.S.: Auch bei meinem AP-Pano 41486 frage ich mich, ob Du das Herzchen nach dem netten Kommentar vergessen hast...
