valle delle ferriere

LingyunF

炎炎夏日，只需步行10几分钟，就能远离人来人往的繁华闹市，享受着大自然的清新。从阿马尔菲步行商业街的尽头一直往前走，首先路左侧的一个造纸博物馆，可以顺便进去逛逛，然后再往上坡走，映入眼帘的是满山谷的柠檬种植园，你会看到人们是如何艰苦的用步行肩扛将世界上最新鲜，最清香的柠檬运到上下，沿途穿插着住家，之后树林，小溪，山泉，雨水多时还有小瀑布，一定要尝尝这的泉水，那叫甘甜爽口呢？如果你来自大都市，一定要来自享受一下这清新的大自然，因为其不仅美丽，而且有可能只属于你自己和你的游伴呢！

This walk takes a bit of an effort for us 50 yo's but is great. The abandoned paper mills, water falls and great views completed by a lovely lunch in Pontone made for one of our best Italy experiences.

Take a fairly gentle walk following the route of the river past various abandoned paper mills. The route is reasonably steep but achievable by a 6yr old and some grown ups alike. The views are amazing and there's plenty of opportunity to stop mid route for a paddle in the cool river (although it's extremely fast flowing and has some very hairy waterfalls, so choose a safe shallow spot)We did the walk in October and it was a very hot day and there was plenty of dappled shade, however the heat of midsummer may be too much.A roundtrip takes about three hours, maybe. But I'd suggest stopping for lunch at Ristorante Antico Borgo in Pontone at the summit of your walk.

A lovely day out walking up the hill following a river with many waterfalls. This is know as the valley of the mills. Numerous old paper mills with the river running through them. Can be a circular walk or you can retrace your footsteps, but it is worth walking round, although there are hundreds of steps to come back down.

The trails are great through the valley. You can visit the old paper mill ruins and see beautiful waterfalls.

The hike that has everything you can ask for: magnificent mountains, breathtaking views of the gorgeous valle delle Ferriere, shady paths close to the crystal clear streams, sparkling waterfalls, ruins of the medieval houses, wonderful lemonade shop, and what not!The weather was amazing and we enjoyed this relatively easy hike with some light climbs, some stairs, and this absolutely lovely winding path. We walked from Amalfi to Pontone and back (2.5 - 3 hours walk). Do not miss it if you are in Amalfi! What a beauty!

Walking in the Valle delle Ferriere is like walking in another world. It's miles away from the crowds of central Amalfi and yet not far as the crow flies. Having ascended a few hundred steps from Minuta, the walk follows more or less the same contour throughout. The countryside is quite wild and you will encounter waterfalls and an abundance of plants. The walk takes between 3 and 4 hours and finishes at the village of Pogerola. From there, you can either walk down to Amalfi or take a bus.

plenty of steps, through lemon groves from Ravello to Amalfi, interesting industrial ruins, take water on hot days then bath your feet in the stream at the head of the valley

I will start by saying we did a couple of hikes and the trail maps/signs were slightly confusing. We started in Pontone and walked to the Belvedere point lookout which was spectacular and definitely worth the 10 minute detour as we were on our way to Torre dello Ziro. After the Tower, we were going to hike down to Amalfi and through the Valle delle Ferriere. Unfortunately we went left when we were supposed to go right due to not seeing a trial marker/sign on the way we should have gone. We ended up having to hike back a little ways, but it was still worth it. You walk by the old paper mills and see a couple of picturesque waterfalls. I also enjoyed walking along the lemon tree groves and looking back towards Amalfi. If you're looking for some exercise and a pretty view, I would recommend this hike. Caution: In general, hiking/walking in Amalfi is not on flat ground. It is cobblestoned and has MANY stairs up and down. Bring some good foot wear and if if you have knee trouble or any trouble ambulating, take care. Lastly, bring water as there isn't a place to buy water once you're on the hike.

Stunning views. Wear good shoesTakes about 2 hours unhurriedUse a stick for support near the top especially for coming down (knees!)

I'm assuming this is the walk between Pontone-Scala-Ravello. If so I loved it. It was hard work and challanging to the family. The places were beautiful and the views amazing. I would perhaps recommend getting the bus to Ravello, the bus to Scala and then walking to Pontone and getting the bus to Amalfi from there.

Loved the lemon groves and the water flowing. Did not hike to the waterfalls. The lemon groves are quite pretty. They grow huge lemons which are used in the town to make limoncello and granite (ice ground up with fruit juice or mint).

We took the bus to scala before starting the walk. The steepest section is at the scala end. After that it is quite easy to pogerola and the wonderful Cocktail Bar (see my review). We then hiked down to Amalfi. A different hike to some of the others as you see greenery and small waterfalls, as well as some sea views.

This hike was one of my highlights in Amalfi. Beautiful, lush scenery. Picturesque views looking back at Amalfi. The hike itself is relatively easy. Bring your swim trunks/bathing suits to jump in the many pools along the way created by the waterfalls.

Not too difficult. Very green. Nice waterfalls and lemon orchards. Nice to see an ancient roman aquaduct of Amalfi. We did not go all the way but did about 2 miles up and 2 miles down back to Amalfi town. Nice to get away from the summer crowds.
