Discover Magliolo: Hiking Trails, Nature and History

Magliolo combines nature, activity and history. Its highlights range from landscapes and hiking trails to a church sanctuary, a protected via ferrata and a historic transport route.

Landscape and Hiking around Magliolo

Magliolo is set in a natural environment with numerous chestnut groves, meadows and forests. The many trails in the area offer opportunities for hiking. Those who want to combine hiking and culture in one place can include the area's trails and the Santuario dei santi Cosma e Damiano in the same travel plan. The combination of chestnut groves, meadows, forests and trails shapes the landscape component of the travel plan, while the church sanctuary provides a historical focus.

Hiking Routes and the Ferrata degli Artisti

The Alta Via dei Monti Liguri runs through the Magliolo area. The Sentiero delle Terre Alte also runs through this area. Alongside the numerous trails, two specific routes therefore have names of their own. When planning hikes in Magliolo, these two names can be considered separately from the Ferrata degli Artisti. For hikers, these two routes form a distinct focus within the Magliolo area in addition to the general trail network.

The Ferrata degli Artisti

The Ferrata degli Artisti runs along the panoramic Costa dei Balzi Rossi in the village of Isallo. The via ferrata includes a 40-metre-long Tibetan bridge. It is also a long, protected route of medium to high difficulty. When planning the day, its long route, protection, 40-metre-long Tibetan bridge and medium to high difficulty should all be taken into account together.

Church Sanctuary and Historic Traces

The Santuario dei santi Cosma e Damiano is an 18th-century church sanctuary in Magliolo. Alongside this church sanctuary, La Via del Ferro represents a historic connection. Historically, it connected Marina di Pietra Ligure with the Ferriera di Isallo and used mules exclusively as a means of transport. The history of this connection is therefore tied to two specific points and to an exclusively used means of transport. For those interested in culture, the value of this subject lies in the connection between history and transport. Culture enthusiasts can consider the church sanctuary and the historic Via del Ferro as distinct subjects within the local and transport history.

The Via del Ferro in Val Maremola

La Via del Ferro runs through Val Maremola, an area rich in waterways, flora and fauna. The Via del Ferro therefore also has value from a natural-history perspective. Those interested in historic transport routes and observing nature can consider both subjects side by side in this context. Waterways, flora and fauna are the specific natural features of Val Maremola. In Val Maremola, the historic route connects with waterways, flora and fauna.
