It will fail to reach Vesuvius with a tour planned by the komoot algorithm. We tried it. All paths through the national park were closed (September 2019) by gates. Only possible was the road. It is best to go by bus or rent a car. Hiking is obviously not (more) desired?

Hiking

Vesuvius offers a breathtaking view and is worth the trip. But be careful: the trip should be planned well in advance (online tickets).
