Sentieri del Fiordo di Furore

Four named paths connect the Fjord of Furore with its gorge and upper landscape: Sentiero dell'Amore, Abu Tabela, Nidi di corvo and Pipistrelli impazziti. Together they reveal the relationship between the inlet, steep slopes and terraced cultivation.

Why it matters

The paths make the fjord part of a wider cultural landscape rather than an isolated coastal landmark. Some routes begin at the inlet, while another starts higher in the locality of Il Pino, crossing a landscape shaped by cultivation and dry-stone walls.

What to notice

Furore's slopes are crossed by dry-stone terraces planted with pergola-trained vines. The trails offer views of both cultivated and abandoned sections and of the gorge's contrasting environments, from shaded stream-side vegetation to drier scrub. Rock-cut shelters known as monazzeri are another feature of the landscape.

Context and history

The terrace system has shaped the area's hydrogeology and economy. The named trails are part of the network of paths through the commune, whose ecomuseum also organises routes centred on botany, cinema and murals.
