Amalfi, Valle delle Ferriere Oriented Nature Reserve

Valle delle Ferriere Oriented Nature Reserve, a real treasure trove of multiple treasures such as the Great Waterfall of the Rio Canneto more than 25 meters high, or the Petrified Mosses, in this subtropical microclimate, you can find the rare Pinguicola hirtiflora (a carnivorous plant), the Erica Terminalis but above all the very famous prehistoric fern Woodwardia Radicans, a rare species of giant fern that has been present in the area for more than 65 million years.

Crossing ancient stairs and paths among the lemon groves, you reach the Valle dei Mulini, an uncontaminated wooded area full of springs and waterfalls among high mountains. Inside the deep valley, you can see several examples of 10th century industry, such as the remains of an old aqueduct or the ironworks where iron was produced, and then we will visit the ruins of numerous paper mills which remain one of the few links with the history, wealth and power of the Maritime Republic of Amalfi.

Beautiful visit to the cathedral of Amalfi
