Day 9
12 NOV 25- Three Mountains
This excursion is certainly the most demanding one. It's for trained people, who want to discover the wildest nature of the Lattari Mountains. The Path of the Gods is among the best known of the Amalfi Coast and therefore also among the most "crowded", but not everyone knows that the circuit of 3 Hills is in fact more panoramic, as it overlooks it in altitude.
We start the hike from the square of Bomerano at 600m of altitude, go up on the roadway and continue along a mule track, through mixed woods, coppice chestnuts and holm oaks.
The path leads us to the first peak of the 3 hills (1,122 mt.), beautifully overlooking the coast.
We are all rewarded by an enchanting view, a stunning window opens onto the entire Amalfi Coast: Capri, Sant'Angelo a tre pizzi , the highest peaks of the Lattari Mountains, Vesuvius, Cilento coast ... in short, it is an experience that takes your breath away! Afterwards you cross Monte Calabrice (1145 m) to reach the Capo Muro saddle (1072 m). The path back to Bomerano is initially a steep descent on rock and stony ground which then becomes a rolling road, until we reach the Bomerano square again.
Distance covered: 7mi (11km)
Ascent: 1,598ft (487m); Descent: 1,598ft (487m); Activity hours: 5

Let's start immediately with a super panoramic starting point: the Piazzetta of Termini, where Capri seems to be close enough to touch with your hand. From there we go down to the tip of the Campanella, the last strip of Peninsula, the final act of the Lattari Mountains, a beautiful place, full of charm and ancient history. In fact, during the walk, you reach the old temple dedicated to the goddess Athena.
The excursion to Monte San Costanzo, in addition to offering incredibly panoramic views of the Gulf of Naples and Capri, is rich in history; the many legends that can be told are very intriguing. We can imagine the reign of the mythical Sirens and the navigation of Ulysses, while the olive trees and plants typical of the Mediterranean scrub surround us.
Once at the tower, you keep hiking along the ridge which is a path suitable for expert hikers, an unpaved dirt ground with a low grade slope, you will arrive at the Chapel of San Costanzo. Along this hike we are also surrounded by the plants of the Mediterranean scrub, especially the asphodel, a "special" plant, widely used in Ancient Greek times because it was found in the places chosen for the burial of loved ones.
Once on Monte San Costanzo we will stop for a break with a 360 ° view of the Amalfi Coast, the Gulf of Salerno, the Lattari Mountains, Sant’Angelo a tre pizzi, Vesuvius and the islands of Ischia and Procida. What marvelous scenery!
