Narrow Path Between Vineyard Walls

Highlight • Trail

This beautiful, easy hike leads through a large, active wine-growing area whose walls are perfectly preserved (a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004).

Perfect when the clouds linger in the highlands. Several swimming opportunities are available.

Small but nice hike through the protective walls made of lava rock for traditional winegrowing, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004 🍷
