Cognoli Summit and Valle dell'Inferno

Highlight • Summit

It starts uphill for about 1km in curves (from Ottaviano) after which the terrain is flat, very suggestive with leaves and in specific periods chestnuts and mushrooms along the path.
Then you arrive at a parking area and then go up even more (keeping to the left) above you find yourself in a large open space with only two wooden benches in the center and a sacred statuette surrounded by two pairs of trees.
If you take the path on the left and walk for 200/300 meters you can enjoy a spectacular view but do not go further because it is dangerous.
Also from this large open space, if you take the straight path you will arrive at the top of the Cognoli enjoying a magnificent view as well, seeing all the villages of the Vesuvian hinterland.
To return to the starting point from the top there are two paths, either do what you have already traveled or on the left take another faster path (but not recommended because it is steeper and more difficult).
