About this activity
• Starting point from Agerola, Bomerano (hamlet,) in Piazza Capasso.You will meet your trekking guide at 9am. At this point you will be provided the poles. The tour is 3-5hours long one way. It was named the Path of the Gods not without reasons. It offers a fabulous view on coastal and mountain landscapes from Positano to Capri. Walking about 500m above the sea level between rocky passages Mediterranean vegetation, forests of oaks and terraces made on steep slopes. The first site to visit along this nature trail, coming from Bomerano, is the Grotta del Biscotto(cave of the biscuit) (at 524 meters above sea level), named after its geologic conformation, similar to the shape of a biscuit bread (typical product of Agerola). As well the craggy surface of the rock resembles the local specialty biscotto. Biscotto is a hard small bread that is baked twice, so that it dries out and lasts for an entire year. Then it is soaked in water and eaten, usually in a soup or part of a salad.

This is where a memorial tablet has been placed to remember Giustino Fortunato, who gave the name to this trail.
