Calore Irpino
The 'Calore lucano' (or ''Calore salernitano'') is a
river in
Campania, southern
Italy. It is an important left tributary of the
Sele, in which it flows not far from the ancient city of
Paestum.
The Calore starts from the northern slopes of the
Monti Cervati, and his course is entirely included in the
province of Salerno, within
Cilento, for a total of 63 kilometers. For long parts it flows between high rocky walls, as near
Laurino or in the gorge of
Monte Pescorubino, between the localities of
Magliano Vetere and
Felitto.
The Calore is one of the few rivers in Europe in which the
European Otter still lives.
