Via Dell'Amore Reopens!

[Hlitner]

Finally, after 12 long years of indecision and very slow repairs, the famous walkway between Riomaggiore and Manarola, in the Cinque Terre area, has reopened.  But, it is only open to those who do some planning and are OK with putting up with the overtourism that is endemic to the area.   Here is a link to a related article that explains the situation:

DW and I walked this route, many years ago before the mudrock slides that destroyed the trail.  If similar to what existed prior to its destructions, it should be a relatively easy hike for folks that can handle a half mile on a paved trail.

I saw the news reports that it had been reopened.  Good news.  Finally.  We walked it prior to the closure.  I believe they now charge and limit the numbers per hour.  That makes sense, too many people on that narrow path would not be good.
