Part of the Lucan Apennines and included in
Cilento National Park, the Alburni are located in the eastern area of
Cilento, near the borders between Campania and
Basilicata. In north-east the range degrades into the plain of
Vallo di Diano. Some of the rivers flowing below the mountains are the
Calore Lucano,
Tanagro, Fasanella and Ripiti. The
karstic nature of the mountains favoured the formation of several
caves, more than 400. The most famous are the
show caves of
Castelcivita and
Pertosa. On the road pass between
Sant'Angelo a Fasanella and
Petina there are located the
Antece, an ancient rock sculpture (5th/6th century BC), and the
observatory of ''Casone d'Aresta''. ==List of mountains==
