EXCURSION IN THE HEART OF ABRUZZO

Entering the narrow GORGES OF FARA SAN MARTINO is like reaching the heart and soul of the mother mountain, the Majella. It is an incredibly beautiful place, and the towering rock walls will accompany us for most of our journey.

After putting on our helmets, highly recommended for this excursion, we will begin our path, SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE, where the rocky walls almost touch, and by spreading our arms, we will be able to touch both sides.

Just outside the narrow gorge, the rock-hewn monastery appears, a medieval architectural gem that re-emerged after extensive archaeological excavations: THE BENEDICTINE ABBEY OF SAN MARTINO IN VALLE (9th/18th century AD). We will then continue along the path to admire the wonderful Gorge and reach a picturesque fountain where we will drink some delicious fresh spring water during a refreshing break before returning to the starting point.

At the end of the walk, we will enjoy the coolness of the crystal-clear green waters of the Verde Springs, accompanied by ancient tales about the origins of the famous pasta from Fara San Martino.
