Pollino Mount, with its 2248 mt on the sea level, is the second highest peak of the Massif from which the Park takes its name. With its central location allows you to admire all the other peaks, a breathtaking view. An ancient legend tells that a group of young Greek warriors ventured up the slopes of the mountain, home of Apollo, in search of something that would make them glorious. The road led them to the summit, a sacred place where no one should ever have gone. The divinity discovered them and decided to punish them, turning them into millennial trees so that they could always defend his mountain.
