Tips from the Community
Imagine: the Adriatic Sea shimmering beside you, a fresh sea breeze on your face, and an endless cycle path winding along the coast. The Via Verde dei Trabocchi is one of those routes where you don't really want the ride to end. This cycle path, over 50 kilometers long and largely flat, follows a former railway line and takes you along one of the most beautiful coastal stretches of Abruzzo. Along the way, you'll pass the iconic trabocchi: impressive wooden fishing platforms that seem to float on the sea on stilts. With their long arms and nets, they stand out against the horizon like gigantic wooden works of art. Thanks to the flat course, this route is suitable for almost everyone, from recreational cyclists to avid mileage eaters. Along the way, charming beaches, atmospheric villages, and countless spots beckon where you can stop for an espresso, an ice cream, or a fresh fish lunch with a sea view. The Via Verde dei Trabocchi is not just a cycle path, but an experience that effortlessly combines nature, culture, and relaxation. A route you must cycle at least once.

The marked route is not exactly the Via dei Mulini. The cycle path must be taken from Lido Riccio in Ortona, going up along the Arielli River to its source, crossing the territory of Tollo, Crecchio and arriving at Arielli, then descending back to Ortona along the Marrucina or Pescarese, or the same route in reverse along the river. I kindly ask the management to contact me so I can provide precise directions. Giandomenico Scioletti
