パロンバロ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

モンテ・アマーロで出会う小さな聖なる記念碑は、提供される景色に加えて、短い瞑想の瞬間にふさわしい場所かもしれません。数年前に、イタリアの詩人フランチェスコ・ペトラルカ（14世紀に生きた）の「どこにいても、空はあなたの上にある」という、ここにぴったりな言葉をクリスティアーネ・ヴォルケルは次のようにコメントしました。「祈っても何になるのだろうか？この問いは私を動かします（…）私は、祈るときは主のそばにいる、あるいは、祈るときは普段よりもずっと近くに主を感じるという答えと確信を見つけました。そうすれば、心を開くことができます（…）この親密さが、彼を信じることを私に教えてくれます。」

A full immersion in the wild Vesola Valley. The trail ascends through centuries-old beech trees, yew trees, and holly, offering spectacular views of the San Giovanni Waterfall, one of the highest in the Maiella. Keep your eyes peeled: squirrels leap among the branches, and near the water you might spot the rare spectacled salamander or the small carnivorous plant, the Pinguicola. The grand finale? The view from the Civita Plain, where your gaze sweeps from the woods to the Adriatic Sea. ⚠️ Technical note: Short steep sections uphill and downhill require a minimum of caution.

Refuge open only in summer.

If you go beyond the end of the paved road, after the telecommunications facilities of the blockhouse, you'll find a paved road that ends on another stretch of gravel road, leading to a sort of small terrace, where you can admire a 360° panorama. A short distance away, you can see a small chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Snows... from there, you'll find trails for hiking or, for a while, for a gravel bike ride.

The hike is tough at times but the forest offers many emotions!

Wonderful point

end of the blockhaus trail, wonderful view

the Pomilio refuge, in addition to being a good restaurant, is also the start of the blockhaus and the path to reach the top of Mount Amaro
