Lago Remmo, Appennino Lucano - Val d'Agri - Lagonegrese National Park
Facts and practical information
Lake Remmo, also known as Laudemio, located at an altitude of 1,525 meters above sea level, is the southernmost lake of glacial origin in Italy: extending for a little more than two hectares, the basin was formed as a result of the barrage formed by the frontal moraine of a large glacier, which in the Quaternary period descended for about four kilometers from the north side of Mount Papa, until it reached the locality of Pétina Chiana.
The lake, located in a basin of the Lucano Val d'Agri Lagonegrese Apennine National Park on the northeastern slopes of Mount Sirino, in the province of Potenza, extends behind Serra Spalla dell'Imperatrice, surrounded by a grove of dense and tall beech and alder trees; it is fed by waters flowing down from the slopes of Sirino-Papa and its surface is covered with grasses, marsh leaves and algae.
The area bordering the lake's body of water consists of dense beech forest, which surrounds it for two-thirds of its perimeter, and a surrounding crown of mountains.
