The Via dell'Amolre is a promenade overlooking the sea that allows you to reach the village of Manarola from that of Riomaggiore, showing remarkable panoramic views. It was carved into the rock in the years 1926-1928, exploiting the acrobatic routes of the quarrymen who built the La Spezia-Genoa railway at the end of the 19th century. In the short section of the Batternara, the Via dell'Amore runs along the vault of the railway tunnel.
