Il Sentiero degli Innamorati – Ascea
The trail begins near the coastline and climbs the rocky hillside via steps and wooden walkways. It winds through Mediterranean vegetation, offering numerous panoramic viewpoints overlooking the Golfo di Velia and the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The highlight of the route is Torre del Telegrafo, a historic watchtower perched on the headland. From here, visitors can enjoy sweeping views stretching along the Cilento coastline as far as Capo Palinuro and, on particularly clear days, towards the southern mountain ranges of Campania.
Due to the presence of steps and uneven terrain, the trail is not suitable for strollers or visitors with reduced mobility.
💡This trail is especially recommended at sunset, when the light enhances the colours of the cliffs and the sea. During the summer months, it is advisable to avoid the hottest hours of the day.
