About this ebook

Situated approximately 80 kilometres to the south of Genoa, there exists a genuine haven for hiking enthusiasts and those searching for tranquility: Cinque Terre. This collection of five charming villages along the Ligurian coastline includes Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. The Cinque Terre National Park spans an impressive 3,860 hectares and was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. Adjacent to this area is the Whale Sanctuary in the Mediterranean Sea, established in 1999, which serves as a habitat for fin whales, striped dolphins, and numerous other rare species of whales and dolphins. Visitors to this picturesque region can gather information at one of the "Welcome Centers." Here, tickets for Cinque Terre are available for purchase, with options that include or exclude train travel. In most instances, accessing the hiking paths incurs a fee.

Whether you are an experienced hiker or a casual walker, the trails of Cinque Terre offer varying levels of difficulty, allowing everyone to revel in the breathtaking natural beauty of the rugged coastline and cascading vineyards. Each village along the path provides unique landscapes and invites visitors to indulge in local cuisine, featuring fresh seafood and regionally produced wines. As dusk falls, the villages come alive with charm, where quaint cafés and vibrant markets create perfect settings for unwinding after a day of exploration. With the sun setting over the horizon, it becomes abundantly clear that Cinque Terre is not merely a destination; it’s an experience that captures the essence of Italian life.

The cosy overnight trains operated by the Austrian Federal Railways (OBB) provide a seamless connection between Munich and Vienna, making this excellent destination easily accessible.
