These mills, active since the 12th century, were a crucial resource for the local community, supporting the agricultural and artisanal economy of the area. Today, along the Sorrentino Stream, the remains of 23 watermills stretch across the valley, making it one of the areas with the highest concentration of mills in Cilento.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"237\" src=\"blob:https:\/\/www.ruralhack.org\/7f7e0884-7801-4846-9d2c-5f5ffa1c6ebf\"\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: https:\/\/www.palazzocoppola.it\/la-valle-dei-mulini\/<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201cLa Valle dei Mulini\u201d trail, which retraces the ancient connecting routes between the towns, has recently been enhanced through a project curated by the <a href=\"https:\/\/ilborgodeimulini.it\/associazione-pro-valle-cilento\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pro Valle Cilento Association<\/a>, offering everyone the opportunity to explore this extraordinary natural and cultural heritage.

The Frantoio di Palazzo Coppola, still in operation, stands as a testament to the importance of these traditional agricultural practices. <\/p>\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Crossing Cilento: Community, Resilience, and Innovation<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This visit is not only an opportunity to discover the past but also to reflect on the sustainable future of Cilento.
