The Lucanian Dolomites are a characteristic mountainous relief located at the center of Basilicata whose silhouettes rise imposing and spectacular, creating a unique and extremely beautiful landscape. These beautiful mountains fall back into the territory of the municipalities of Castelmezzano and Pietrapertosa which are located at the top on two different sides.
Pietrapertosa and Castelmezzano have preserved the original medieval urban layout with the houses perched on the rocky slopes and offer a fairytale landscape.
The Lucanian Dolomites with its two beautiful villages are part of the Gallipoli-Cognato Park that can boast many extensive forests and in addition to boasting a rich natural heritage, it has a cultural richness that has become part of UNESCO: the Maggio of Accettura. Besides Accettura, also the small village of Oliveto Lucano and Pietrapertosa celebrate the ancestral rite of the marriage of trees on different dates from Accetura's.
On one of the peaks, the Mount Croccia, at more than 1000 meters there are the remains of a 4th century ancient fortified historic town but the presence of a Stonehenge style solar clock set back its foundation farther back. A journey through history, nature and man.

The most popular day trip is undoubtedly the visit of the Lucan Dolomites. Pietrapertosa and Castelmezzano in addition to the scenic beauty can give a very special feeling that is to cross suspended at a steel cable the gorge that separates the two villages at 400 m. from the ground. Round trip! Alternatively there is a very suggestive path on foot...
Itinerary completely different from the previous one is the proposed alternative. It starts with Oliveto Lucano, tiny village at the foot of Monte Croccia. On the top of Mount Croccia we visit the ancient Lucanian center probably called Kalipolis (hence the name of the forest of Gallipoli-Cognato) and the solar clock of very ancient times, probably before the crisis of the ancient bronze (1200 BC). We go down to the park’s visitor center and in the afternoon you walk along the paths of the park. On the way back we pass by Accettura and the Montepiano Wood.
