This hike is a great option if you are looking for a straightforward and scenic outdoor activity on Elba Island.
Located within the Tuscan Archipelago National Park, this trail is the most popular hiking route around Capoliveri. The area is rich in history, having been an Etruscan settlement and a medieval village. You might also encounter old miners' paths, as the region was historically significant for iron ore mining. The broader Monte Calamita area, which includes this trail, offers sweeping panoramas that can encompass all of Elba, other islands of the Tuscan Archipelago, and even the Tuscan mainland.
