The paths of the Vesuvius National Park

From 2001 to 2003, the Vesuvius National Park created a “Walkway Network of the Vesuvius National Park” consisting of 11 paths for a total length of 54 kilometres of walkway. The interventions concerned the mitigation of the risk on the tracks and the preparation of the latter through specific signs for each path, describing the main naturalistic, geological and historical emergencies you can encounter while walking.

Different types of trails have been created: six circular nature trails (n. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 8), an educational trail (n. 9), a panoramic path (n. 6) and an agricultural path (n.7).

As for the mitigation of the risk, stabilization and consolidation interventions were carried out to create 584 cubic metres of double-walled palisades, 845 cubic metres of single-walled palisades, 375 square metres of metal grills, 1,433 metres of viminate , 180 cubic metres of wooden and stone bridles, 2,728 cubic metres of dry stone walls in volcanic stone, over 5,400 square metres of sowing and grassing.
