Hiking

This Tour, which goes from San Lazzaro (Agerola) to Amalfi, transports you through the Valle delle Ferriere reserve, a true natural and historical treasure.

After an initial, quite steep climb, the trail plunges you into lush and preserved vegetation. The walk takes place in the soothing shade of the trees, to the sound of waterfalls cascading into the valley.

Along the way, architectural heritage unfolds before you. You will discover remnants of old paper mills that bear witness to the region's industrial past. The ruins of ancient iron processing plants recall the metallurgical activity that once animated the valley.

This industrial heritage blends with ancient and medieval monuments. You will encounter vestiges from the medieval era, charming bridges, and remnants of old communication routes. All of this lends a mystical and timeless atmosphere to this hike.

The landscape is a succession of striking panoramas. The majestic mountains offer a surprising contrast with the azure sea that emerges on the horizon. The waterfalls and streams winding through the valley add a musical and magical touch to this adventure in the heart of nature.

In Amalfi, you will be greeted by the vibrant colors of houses huddled along the steep cliffs. Reward yourself with a moment of relaxation on the beach, before exploring the picturesque alleyways and savoring the local cuisine in the seaside restaurants.

Waterfalls in the Valle delle Ferriere Nature Reserve

Highlight • Waterfall

If you want to enter the core zone A (ie the widely praised main waterfall) then you need a "pass" or a "ticket" which should be available in Amalfi!

View of Amalfi

Highlight • Viewpoint

Amalfi holds centuries of history in its folds of stone and sea. Born in Roman times, passed through the hands of the Byzantines and Lombards, in the Middle Ages it became one of the powerful Maritime Republics, an undisputed protagonist of trade in the Mediterranean between the 9th and 11th centuries.

Today, its splendor is told by the narrow streets that climb between colorful houses, the ruined towers and the remains of ancient fortifications: living traces of a past that still whispers between the walls.

September 13, 2024,Von Amalfi nach San Lazzaro🇮🇹
We took the bus down to Amalfi. There was a huge crowd. We bought a few provisions. Then we set off. First there were lots of steps to the start in the Valle delle Ferriere. Then there were lots of old walls that used to be mills. It's amazing how people built them in the past. But they were beautiful …

Path accessible from the free parking located via Tuoro near the center of San Lazzaro.
The first climb takes you by surprise when you are not warmed up ... it is very steep.
On the way back a bus from Amalfi drops you off next to the parking lot in 1 hour.

Alleged walking time by locals of 2 hours = greatly understated. Few Signs, Beautiful Views. At the end of a short, steep section, apparently into the undergrowth, then soon on the right path.

It is a very panoramic tour, a bit long but without particular difficulties.
There are no exposed areas and the paths are all fairly signposted.
Passage through the valley of the ironworks.
Return by bus to the starting point, San Lazzaro.

This tour is splendid, above all it is beautiful to arrive and enjoy the spectacle that is the Valle delle Ferriere after a real, tough, demanding walk. I don't want to exaggerate at all but this tour, to put it briefly, is selective but not in the sense that it is difficult but in the sense that, presenting various variations …
