Review:
Avid hikers will adore Vesuvius National Park. Wrapped around the active volcano complex Somma-Vesuvius, the park has a reach of over 83 square miles with 13 towns and nine distinctive hiking trails. Those wanting to hike to the crater’s edge could start with Trail 1 – the Valle dell’Inferno – and continue on Trail 5 – The Gran Cono – up to the edge of the crater. Each of the park’s 13 municipalities has something different to offer visitors, from the enchanting medieval district of Trocchia to the Golden Mile of Ercolano to Boscotrecase, the closest town to the Pompeii ruins; there is so much history and culture to explore.
