Highlight of Highlights - Pick of the trip

Valley of the Watermills

Walk far from the maddening rush of mass tourism down into the shaded Valle dei Mulini (Valley of the Watermills). Here remnants of Europe’s most ancient paper mills, dating back to the 11th Century, lie strewn as ghostly ruins amidst thick foliage, fed by the waters of the valley's crystal clear streams.

Fitness

This trip is graded as a ‘Moderate Walk'. A good level of fitness is required for the walking on this trip. A big part of the walks involves steep 'ups and 'downs' across varied terrain. Some previous hill-walking experience would be advantageous but anyone who has an active lifestyle will be capable of undertaking the walks. The walking paths range from paved man-made tracks to forest and coastal trails. There are also some long staircases so if you are at all unsteady on your feet we highly recommend you also bring a retractable walking pole(s). These are lightweight, easy to pack and can be found in most outdoor equipment shops. Comfortable walking/hiking shoes are essential, along with a small day-pack and water bottle.

Vaccinations

Vaccinations may be required or recommended for this trip so you should consult with your travel doctor to obtain the latest up to date information. It is your responsibility to ensure that you obtain any vaccinations or preventative medicines for the countries you are visiting – or any which may be required by your home country upon your return.

For travellers from Australia and New Zealand, we recommend the Travel Doctor-TMVC clinics (see www.traveldoctor.com.au or phone 1300 658 844 for an appointment in Australia).
