Rimasuu

Lemmen, besides being part of the National Park of the “Cinque Terre” (the Five Lands), is also part of the territory of the Municipality of Riomaggiore - or Rimasùu, as it is known in the local dialect. Riomaggiore is the first town after leaving La Spezia and has about 1500 inhabitants. Its name comes from Rivus Maior, one of the two torrents that flow down to the town. The old town was built around the little seaport, with “tower houses” leading up in parallel terraces connected by countless steps and little streets up to the castle, which was built in 1200 to defend the town and today provides superb views.

Mooring for the boats has a purely “urban” focus. Riomaggiore is, in truth, a town of farming origins and traditions and not seafaring ones. The inhabitants have for centuries been winegrowers on the surrounding mountains, from which they managed to wrench strips of land contained by dry stone walls built with great skill and care.

Today, difficult growing conditions result in more and more land being abandoned and fewer and fewer vineyards are productive.

On the other hand, crowds of tourists, attracted by the beauty of the places, fill the town, while others enjoy trekking along the numerous paths that lead up to the peaks or down to the sea.

Rimasùu

Lemmen, oltre che far parte del Parco Nazionale delle Cinque Terre, è compreso nel territorio del Comune di Riomaggiore, Rimasùu secondo il dialetto del luogo. Riomaggiore è il primo paese delle Cinque Terre che si incontra arrivando da La Spezia e conta circa 1500 abitanti. Il suo nome deriva da Rivus Maior, uno dei due torrenti che raggiungono l'abitato. Il borgo storico si sviluppa a partire dal mare attorno al porticciolo, con le “case torri” disposte a gradoni in schemi paralleli collegati da una fitta rete di scalinate e viottoli, e culmina nel castello del 1200, costruito a scopo difensivo ed oggi punto panoramico eccezionale. L'approdo per le barche rimane però un punto focale meramente “urbanistico”: Riomaggiore è in verità un paese di origini e tradizioni contadine, non marinare. I suoi abitanti per secoli si sono dedicati alla coltivazione dei vigneti sulle montagne circostanti, strappando ai pendii lembi di terreno contenuti da muretti a secco, costruiti con grande maestria e fatica. Oggi le condizioni estreme per la coltivazione fanno sì che le campagne siano sempre più soggette al degrado e all'abbandono totale. Il numero dei vigneti produttivi è in continua diminuzione. Per contro, schiere di turisti, attirate dall'eccezionalità e dalla suggestione dei luoghi, affollano il paese, mentre gli appassionati di trekking percorrono i numerosi sentieri che si inerpicano sulle alture o raggiungono il mare.

🇺🇸🥾⚒️Over the past several years, with a group of other volunteers from Manarola, we have recovered over 10 km of abandoned trails within the municipality of Riomaggiore. We’ve given the name “Monte le Croci Trail Park” to this network. Some of these trails were part of historic commercial transportation routes, others were used to get to and from farmland and forest plots. The trails are unmarked, but can be found on Openstreetmap.org and the various Apps that use this open source, and additional details about each trail can be found in our newsletter archive (link in bio). 🇮🇹🥾⚒️Negli ultimi anni, con un gruppo di altri volontari di Manarola, abbiamo recuperato oltre 10 km di sentieri abbandonati all'interno del comune di Riomaggiore. Questa rete di percorsi l’abbiamo chiamata “Monte le Croci Trail Park". Alcuni di questi sentieri facevano parte di percorsi storici di commercio, altri erano usati per andare e tornare da terreni agricoli e aree forestali. I sentieri non sono contrassegnati, ma possono essere trovati su Openstreetmap.org e sulle varie app che utilizzano questo open source, ulteriori dettagli su ogni percorso possono essere trovati nel nostro archivio di newsletter (link in bio). #cinqueterretrekking #montelecrocitrailpark #cinqueterre #trails #liguria #italy #trailrecovery #trailmaintenance #volunteer #takeaction #lovegeneration #trailrunning #hiking (presso Cinque Terre Trekking) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPGba6Bgg5m/?utm_medium=tumblr

The stone stairs and the dry stone walls enclosing them on Trail N. 501 from Riomaggiore are works of art, and thanks to work by the Municipality of Riomaggiore and more recently by the all new, much-needed @parcocinqueterre trail maintenance crew, they are in better condition now then they have been for years. This trail and all of the other trails in the park should look this good all year, so we hope that this is just the beginning of a serious and continued investment in this fundamental infrastructure and resource for our local economy. Trail N. 501 will be featured in next week’s edition of our newsletter.
