Hiking<br />

The rich hiking network (about 137 km) allows a<br />

better understanding of the secular action of the<br />

inhabitants, thanks to the rural accessibility of the<br />

Park’s hillsides. Among the places to visit, there are<br />

five old sanctuaries (Montenero, Nostra Signora<br />

della Salute, San Bernardino, Madonna di Reggio,<br />

Madonna di Soviore), located on the hillsides,<br />

behind the coastal villages: the trail that connects<br />

these cult places to each other, is a true hiking<br />

trail that offers you encounters with history and<br />

spellbinding panoramas, starting from Riomaggiore<br />

up to Monterosso al Mare. Along the coast, <strong>one</strong> of<br />

the most renowned trails is the “Via dell’Amore”.<br />

A tri-dimensional plastic model of the territory of<br />

the National Park and the Protected Marine Area of<br />

Cinque Terre is available for blind people (Reception<br />

Centre, Manarola Station).<br />
