Riserva Statale Valle delle Ferriere, State nature reserve in Province of Salerno, Italy.
The Valle delle Ferriere Reserve encompasses 455 hectares of steep valleys, waterfalls, and mountain streams within the Lattari Mountains Nature Park.
The reserve received official protection status in 1972, preserving ancient iron processing sites where workers manufactured nails for ships using iron from Elba Island.
Multiple water-powered mills in the valley produced paper, with one structure now housing the Amalfi Paper Museum displaying traditional papermaking techniques.
Visitors access the reserve through marked trails from Amalfi or Scala, with regular bus services connecting from Salerno to the entrance points.
The reserve protects the woodwardia radicans, an ancient tree fern from the Cenozoic era that grows near the water streams.
