The trek enters the territory of the National Park “Parco Nazionale delle Cinque Terre” and unwinds within the terraces and the villages which were put under the protection of the UNESCO as a World Heritage site. The trail starts on the square behind the train station of Riomaggiore and in the first part corresponds to the Via dell’Amore (Lovers’ Walk), the fascinating road dug into the rocks above the sea during the 1920s.
