Amalfi coast trekking: the path of the gods from Agerola to Positano
7 hours are enough to touch the sky with a finger and immerse yourself in the immaculate beauty of a sacred landscape. The Path of the Gods has a total length of 10 km, round trip, starting from Agerola and finishing in Positano and winds through two paths: high and low. The high path, which starts from Bomerano (Agerola) and ends in Santa Maria del Castello, is suitable for experienced hikers as it has many climbs and steep stretches, while the low path that crosses Nocelle is an easier journey.
In both cases, the panorama offers wonderful and priceless experiences. Let us remember, in fact, that we are talking about a difference in height of 200 m, reaching a height that allows us to have the entire Gulf of Salerno under our feet. From here it is possible to admire Capri, Punta Penna and the Li Galli Island.
During the Sentiero degli Dei trekking it is possible to stop and refresh yourself with a snack comfortably seated on the benches of the panoramic terraces located in more protected areas. You can admire the gulf and take advantage of regaining some energy before continuing the journey.
Path of the Gods itinerary. Grotta del Biscotto, rock villages and the Pistillo: places not to be missed
The itinerary begins as soon as you set out from Bomerano where you meet the Grotta del Biscotto located at 524 m above sea level, where there are cliffs and precipices. The unusual name is due to the geological conformation of the rock, which lends the imagination to associate with the toasted bread of Agerola.
Further on are the “rock villages”, ancient settlements built directly into the rock and dating back to the Saracen period. Continuing on you arrive at the Pistillo path, a pointed rock spur from which it takes its name.
In the middle of the path there is the Colle Serra pass where, within a few meters, the plaque in memory of Giustino Fortunato, who gave the path its name, can be found.
The path ends in Nocelle, after a hike made of rises and falls, where 1500 steps lead to the Amalfi state road in Arienzo or in Montepertuso, a village of Positano.
