How the forest bathing works

The experience is inspired by the principles of forest bathing, a practice that promotes physical and mental wellbeing through direct contact with the natural environment. Walking at a leisurely pace, listening to the forest and breathing in harmony with its rhythms, participants can rediscover a deep connection with nature and with themselves. The silence, the light filtering through the canopy and the presence of the Reserve's ancient laricio pines create the ideal conditions for reducing tension and stress, fostering a sense of calm and regeneration.

The Giants of the Sila and Spezzano della Sila

The «Giants of the Sila» Nature Reserve is located in Spezzano della Sila, in the province of Cosenza, in the heart of the Sila National Park. It takes its name from its monumental laricio pines, centuries-old trees tens of metres tall that are among the most precious testimonies of the Sila forest. It is an ideal setting for slow, nature-based tourism, where the woodland becomes a space of wellbeing. Other events in Calabrian nature can be found in the portal's events section.
