The Ferriere Valley is the most precious jewel of Scala and one of the 41 Italian biogenetic reserves. A deep valley of primitive and lush nature that is born in the mountains of Scala to finish six kilometers further down in the territory of Amalfi. A piece of nature that comes from the past, perhaps because it is hidden and not very easy to visit, has come down to us intact. The valley is traversed throughout its length by the Rio Canneto. The crystal clear waters allow highly sensitive flora and fauna life. High rocky ridges protect the valley from cold winds from the north. From the south instead it is open to the hot and humid winds from the sea. This particular weather condition involves the phenomenon of inversion of the vegetation: the one on the bottom of the valley is of the Mesofilo, grows in a cool, moist environment. The mediterranean macchia, that prefers warmer, dry areas, grows on the higher walls.

Explore the nature reserve of Amalfi, Valle delle Ferriere, among fascinating waterfalls, woods and streams. Let yourself be guided by a professional guide! Route of 6 km.

An easy walk in the most beautiful valley surrounded by a gorgeous nature, the history of the paper production in Amalfi and a great lunch in one of the best farm of the coast. We walk into one of the most amazing valley following the Canneto river. The scenery is amazing, we are in a chesnut forest and the clear water of the river jumps on the rocks creating lots of waterfalls and pools. This is the place where in the 13th century local people started to produce paper using cloths, a technique learned from the arabs. Along the way we find the ruins of the old and abandoned paper mills, it's a unique example of industrial archeology in the south of Italy. The deepest spot in the valley is a Natural Reserve with the most spectacular waterfalls, a kind of rain forest, unexepted. It's a protected area where the "Woodwardia radicans" grows, a pre-historic fern that can be 2 meters long! The right end of our tour will be a great lunch in a farm settled overlooking the valley.
