Valle delle Ferriere from Amalfi – loop in the Parco Regionale dei Monti Lattari

From Pontone it is worth taking a detour to the Belvedere Amalfi. Great view from a bird's eye perspective.

Day 3, or off to Mühlental. Shortly through some narrow Amalfi streets and tunnels and then, you guessed it, hundreds of steps, this time uncounted, up, again accompanied by the great views of the bay. First stop at the “Blu Bar”. We were here yesterday, just from a different direction. A little recovered and continued at over 30 degrees, stagnant air and hardly any wind. It continues up between the terraces (economically usable landscaped areas). Once we arrived in the Mühlental, we walked along a stream up to our picnic area. From here you can walk about 50 meters to the end, where a waterfall awaits you. But we found paying an entrance fee (5 euros) to be outrageous. We then went downhill with renewed vigor and now it became clear why the valley is called Mühlental. Due to the year-round water and the large gradient, there were 13 mills along the stream in the past. Today almost everything has fallen apart and only exists as a ruin or has been converted for tourism purposes (e.g. as a cafe). A little further on we started using the terrace again and the Amalfi Coast was back at us. The heated bodies were cooled internally in a beach bar. In addition to the culinary reward, there was a great view of the sea. In the afternoon we still had time for the famous Amalfi or cooling off in the sea.

Today we took the boat from Minori to Amalfi. From there we walked up a lot of steps via Atrani to Pontone. Into the valley and via an old aqueduct to a beautiful valley with some waterfalls. Via the Valle dei Mulini (where there were old paper mills) back to Amalfi. Nice trip! Lots of stairs, but easy to walk!
