The morning starts on the Amalfi coast road, where the sea still holds last night’s light and the private driver slips the van into a narrow turnout. Within twenty minutes you are off the asphalt and stepping onto a path that disappears into a green throat — the Valle delle Ferriere. The trail, hemmed by laurel and chestnut, is cool; water rushes like a companion, daring you forward over stone footbridges and moss-slick steps. The guide leads, pointing out cascades that drum on limestone shelves and the crumbling outlines of medieval mills that once powered Amalfi’s paper industry.
