We hiked this interesting loop up and around the Valle della Ferriere on the Amalfi coast. We started in the village of Amalfi, first through narrow passages, then steep stairs and terraces up to the village of Pontone and continuing up to the village of Minuta. Then we traversed west high across the Valle della Ferriere to the village of Pogerola, and back down to Amalfi. - - - Sharon Marsh Roberts + Ken Roberts - - -
