    Cima Blockhaus: A walking experience in the heart of the Maiella

    The Blockhaus peak, in the heart of the Maiella massif, is an unmissable destination for mountain lovers. Access to the actual peak is reserved for hikers, with a pleasant walk of about half an hour on a comfortable path.

    A landscape sculpted by time

    The peak, covered with mountain pines, is an ancient plateau shaped by millennia of erosion and geological movements. Once submerged by the sea, it preserves traces of a distant past, like a coral island that emerged and transformed over time.

    Testimonies of history and brigandage

    The name "Blockhaus" recalls a wooden fort built in the 19th century to counter post-unification brigandage.

    A breathtaking view

    From the peak, enjoy a breathtaking view that ranges from the peaks of the Apennines to the Adriatic Sea, far from the hustle and bustle of the arrival of the Giro d'Italia, which takes place further down.
