Via dell'Amore, Coastal hiking trail in Cinque Terre, Italy
The 900-meter path carved into coastal cliffs connects the villages of Riomaggiore and Manarola along the Mediterranean Sea in Liguria.
Local residents constructed this path during the 1920s as an alternative to the existing route, which required climbing 600 steep steps between communities.
The trail represents a significant element of the Cinque Terre UNESCO World Heritage site, highlighting centuries of human interaction with the landscape.
Visitors can access the path through guided tours departing from Riomaggiore, with advance reservations required and groups limited to 30 people.
The path underwent extensive restoration work, including the installation of 2,600 square meters of steel nets to prevent rockfalls and ensure visitor safety.
