Wandermöglichkeiten

Für Natur - und Wanderliebhaber bieten sich viele Möglichkeiten, auf den Wanderwegen entlang der malerischen Küste von Amalfi spazierenzugehen.
Die Lattari-Berge, die sich von Cava dei Tirreni bis nach Punta Campanella erstrecken, bilden den Höhepunkt einer der eindrucksvollsten und berühmtesten Gegenden der Welt. Ein beeindruckendes Schauspiel, eine bezaubernde Landschaft aus steil abfallenden Felsen über den "herabhängenden Wellen", wie der große Homer sich auszudrücken pflegte.

Der Hochweg der Lattari-Berge bietet Wanderwege für einen ganz außergewöhnlichen Urlaub: der Weg führt durch die Stille der Gebirgslandschaft, die ein beeindruckendes Panorama abgibt, weit weg von den lärmenden Autostraßen.
Sie kommen direkt in Kontakt mit der üppigen mediterranen Vegetation der Felsenlandschaft, die dieser Gebirgskette ihren Namen verliehen hat.

Die Wege, die an geschichtsträchtigen Stellen unvergleichlicher Schönheit vorbeiführen, sind leicht begehbar: sie sind für alle geeignet, die ein bißchen Erfahrung im Wandern haben.
Jugendgruppen und Naturliebhaber organisieren ökologische Wanderungen für Touristen, die die Natur wiederentdecken möchten, die wieder eins werden wollen mit der Natur, die woanders ihre ureigenen Farben und Gerüche bereits verloren hat.
