The Blue Trail (Beech Loop) is the easiest and “welcome” loop: a small loop around the town, ideal for a not too challenging walk and mostly shaded in the warm season. The route crosses the Beech Natural Monument and a chestnut forest, inviting you to slow down because, even if short, it concentrates many points of interest. Along the way, you encounter the Alum Mines, where the path’s theme becomes concrete amidst traces and stories of miners’ work. The route returns to the heart of the town, in Piazza della Repubblica, where you can also find the Archaeological Naturalistic Mining Museum. Do not miss the sea view from the panoramic spot at the entrance to the beech forest: a surprising view that closes the loop with the feeling of being "much further away" than the kilometers suggest.

Roadbook
If you are very skilled and experienced, you can also follow it exclusively by following the signs (we still recommend using GPS aids)
The specific signage of the Miners' Path (the colored one that you will find only at the most important junctions) is organized as follows: multiple color stripes of the same size if you are following a path common to two loops; one larger stripe and one smaller stripe when you are following a path that allows you to reach another one.
DIRECTIONS OF TRAVEL As you wish. The path is marked in both directions, sometimes using signs indicating ALLUMIERE for the return. However, we suggest traveling all the loops clockwise.
