오타비아노 최고의 러닝 경로

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.

For me it was the first time I was able to look into a crater. Very impressive!

If you're in the area, you'll naturally want to go up. But be careful - it's better to book your tickets online beforehand. This is hardly possible on site. Once you make it to the top, it's a great experience. The parking lot for off-road vehicles is located at this map point - from here you have to walk.

Terzigno is one of the 13 municipalities of the Vesuvius National Park and is home to a dense pine forest with paths accessible to all.

From this plateau you can enjoy a spectacular view of the Valle dell'inferno and the Gulf of Castellamare.

from here you can enjoy a fantastic view of the Gulf of Sorrento.

Vesuvius is a still active volcano, now in a state of quiescence, which frames the Gulf of Naples. Its crater is large in size and it is certainly exciting to get close to it.
