DESCRIPTION

We start from the old village of Pontone: Crossing ancient stairs and paths among lemon groves, we’ll reach in less than one hour a unique place, the “Ferriere Valley” Oriented Nature Reserve, a real treasure of this Valley. The Great Waterfall of the Rio Canneto more than 25 meters high, in this subtropical microclimate, you can find the famous prehistoric fern Woodwardia Radicans, a rare species of giant fern that has been present in the area for more than 65 million years.

Inside the deep valley, you can see several examples of industry of the 10th century, such as the remains of an old aqueduct or the ironworks where the iron was produced, and then we will visit the ruins of numerous paper mills that remain one of the few links with the history, wealth and power of the Republic of Amalfi. The hiking ends to Duomo Square in Amalfi
