About this activity

L'itinerary in the Ferriere Valley is a fascinating experience that combines nature and history. This easy, low-stress route winds through the picturesque medieval villages of Minute and Pontoon, offering a breathtaking spectacle at every step.

During the walk, you can see enchanting forests, crystal clear springs, small waterfalls and the rapids of the Rio Canneto, once used as a driving force for the ancient paper mills. The ruins of these paper mills, still visible, tell a story of tradition and craftsmanship, dating back to the production of Amalfi's famous paper, which continues to be in high demand.

Halfway along the route, one encounters the ancient ironworks, from which the valley takes its name. This structure supplied the ancient Maritime Republic of Amalfi with iron, testifying to the historical importance of the area.

Continuing on, you enter the nature reserve, where you can observe the rich biodiversity of the place, including the rare woodwardia. Finally, the path takes us to the area of ancient mills, where history and natural beauty come together in an unforgettable experience.

Valle delle Ferriere is an ideal place for nature and history lovers, offering a unique opportunity to explore the wonders of the Amalfi Coast. An excursion that enriches the mind and invigorates the spirit!

    Place to visit absolutely

    Beautiful place, in some places it feels like being in a tropical jungle. Absolutely must-do trip. If you have children definitely the total route is a bit long but you will see that they will be happy too. Excellent tour guide service. We will definitely see you again next year.
