My husband and I did this trail and a few others for a 13.5 km walk up and down Monte Venere. It was great. Watch out for pozzo del diavolo. My husband fell in, and now I'm looking for a new husband.

Hiking

About halfway (when you're on the plain near the houses after the woods), be careful not to turn into the tall grass where the app tells you to go, but continue along the road alongside the houses. I encountered a Maremma Sheepdog that came toward me barking. Fortunately, when I calmly turned back, it stopped. Also be careful on the long stretch of dirt road immediately afterward; there are cattle and sheep, along with many dogs. Luckily, the shepherd was there to keep them in check.
