Product Info

This beautiful hiking route takes us to the geologically oldest part of the island of Ischia. The east coast presents itself in its original form with traditional villages, a special pilgrimage church, orchards and vineyards, and rugged cliffs. We will be accompanied by magnificent panoramic views of Vesuvius, the sea, and Capri. Along the way, we will partially circle a 2,000-year-old volcano, see traces of a collapsed volcanic crater, and a shoal in the sea reveals the location of another volcano that lies below sea level. The feather-light pumice stones that today form the meter-high rock faces of the cliffs tell of the explosive past of this region.
At around 1:30 PM, we will stop at an agriturismo and enjoy local specialties. After the lunch break, the descent to the ending point of the tour begins.

INSIDER TIP: The white pilgrimage church "Madonna di Montevergine" is always worth a visit. The remains of the old walls of the original church can still be seen in a glass plate embedded in the floor! The region on the east coast is a little off the beaten track. This hike takes you to a part of the original Ischia with its wildly romantic nature and many glimpses of rural, tranquil life. Here you can enjoy the rich nature to the fullest in complete tranquility.

GEOLOGIST'S TIP: On the way through the gorge on the Scarrupata cliffs, you will find not only pumice stones but also beautiful, shiny black obsidians! This is a volcanic glass that is formed when magma with a very low water content (3-4%) comes to the surface and solidifies so quickly that there is no time for crystals to form.
