Trek in Valle delle Ferriere

The starting point of this small but intense Trek is Amalfi. The Valle delle Ferriere, rich in natural landscapes, owes its name to a distant past, in fact still today ironworks and ruins of medieval origin can be found. The Valley is located on the border between Amalfi and Ravello, in the middle of the Scala mountains and is crossed by the Canneto river. Along the way, you can also meet different types of animals, such as the Salamandrina terdigitata, a curious local amphibian. During the trek you can see how the Valley almost gives the impression of being in a jungle thanks to the flourishing nature, the waterfalls, the streams of water and the cool environment. It is a medium-low difficulty trek, 6.4 km long, which develops along a 3.2 km path (the same on the outward and return journeys) consisting of a steep stone staircase and a subsequent dirt mule track. The difference in height is 309 meters both uphill and downhill. There are no exposed traits.
