Connection of the Adriatic cycle path with San Salvo

Via Verde dei Trabocchi – Cycling on the most beautiful balcony of the Adriatic Sea. If there is one cycling route you must ride in your life, it is the Via Verde dei Trabocchi. This breathtaking cycle path, over 50 kilometers long, is built on the spectacular route of a former railway line, right along the rugged coast of the Italian region of Abruzzo. Because the route is never steep and is completely car-free, it offers pure, carefree enjoyment for every type of cyclist. You are literally cycling just a stone's throw from the lapping water. Historic, cool railway tunnels, hidden pebble coves (calette), and idyllic little harbors alternate at an incredible pace. The absolute stars of the route are the iconic trabocchi: monumental, centuries-old wooden fishing platforms on stilts that float like giant spiders above the turquoise sea. Once a clever invention of local fishermen, today they are the most unique seafood restaurants you will ever see.

Outside the town centre, there is a nice stretch of mixed dirt and light asphalt which, with not too demanding descents and climbs, makes you lose yourself on the Molise hills, worth trying.
