ナポリの絶景の山頂・トップ20

Pleasant refreshment point on the top of Epomeo to catch your breath and admire the delightful 360 degree panorama

Excellent bar restaurant where you can rest and refresh yourself

A splendid and very particular place in the Lattari Mountains chain, a communication and crossing point between the Agerola plain and the Amalfi coast. It has a truly unique and fascinating perspective towards Capri, also thanks to its altitude (1067 m.). Furthermore, if you arrive at Capo Muro, either from Bomerano or from Santa Maria del Castello and you still have energy, it is possible with another hour of climbing to reach Monte Catiello (1393 m.), the third peak of Sant' Angelo a Tre Pizzi.

The very panoramic itinerary allows you to enjoy the most suggestive and wild scenery of Somma-Vesuvius, crossing forest environments, scrubland up to bare lava rock. The starting point is located along the road that from the Medici Palace of Ottaviano continues towards the volcanic complex. A barrier prohibiting vehicular traffic marks the beginning of the route, the first stretch of the path, common with path no. 1, winds along asphalted hairpin bends, and then turns into a dirt path. The plant landscape consists initially of a thick pine forest of stone pine and then in a mesophilous forest, with essences such as chestnut, Neapolitan alder, Neapolitan maple, holm oak, black locust. Among the nesting birds, the minute lesser spotted woodpecker, rare and localized in Campania, has only recently colonized the Vesuvius Park. After more than 1 km of walking on a steep climb you reach Largo Angelo Prisco dedicated to the young financier murdered by poachers in 1995 which represents the closest destination. From the Largo, path no. 1 branches off to the left, while the itinerary continues on the right on a slight climb, entering, between twists and turns, into a shady chestnut grove where the numerous species of mushrooms present give off an intense and pleasant fragrance.

At Capo Muro there is a mushroom-shaped rock on which there is a statue of the Redeemer looking towards Punta Campanella and Capri. A real spectacle

Must try Spaghetti Epomeo

It was a day to forget for the green island and not only for the 13 people who lost their lives in the accident (5 crew members and 8 passengers). In fact, many islanders went to the scene, with the area engulfed in flames, and cynically indulged in acts of looting, stealing valuables, money and whatever they found in their hands. We have received some truly macabre stories, one above all that tells of people who, in order to steal gold rings, went as far as cutting off fingers. This demonstrates the fact that in Ischia history is not always synonymous with events to be proud of.

The water stone is located on the top of Monte della Guardia, 720 m, the second highest peak of Mount Epomeo.
