Stop 2
Meet your guide in Faito, and starting from Campo del Pero, we walk inside the beech forest, passing by the holy water spring, where there is a rare specie of insectivorous plant.
We continue walking uphill until we reach the base of the Molar (1444 m), highest peak of all the Napoli district. The effort to reach the top is rewarded from a unique panorama. Once we are back on the main path we follow the edge and we get another gorgeous view, with all the Amalfi Coast and Sorrento Peninsula in front of us which extends in the sea.
In the end we have a pleasant walk in the woods between secular examples of beech and we return to the starting point, where the tour ends.
