ロッカモンテピアーノのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The tower overlooks the valley through which the Alento River flows. Half intact (and the other half collapsed), it's certainly a landmark for a beautiful hike and a view that sweeps across these lands.

the place is magnificent and if you remain silent, you can hear the river flowing through the valley.

Staying overnight at Kokopelli is an experience worth having and from there the route to San Liberatore a Maiella is fantastic!

My mistake: the cave of the Hermit of Pretoro is a little higher up

This place is very fascinating. The circular tower, of evident Lombard origin, stands alone overlooking the Alento valley. From here, in fact, you have a spectacular view of the surrounding landscape. It can be reached either from the Abbey of San Liberato, through the Alento gorges (shorter route), or from the state road to Pretoro (longer route).

The abbey is located in an extremely suggestive place. It is immersed in the greenery of the woods on the slopes of the Majella massif. The structure is impressive and it is worth entering to admire the interior. In addition to being a beautiful example of Romanesque architecture, it is also a perfect starting point for exploring the surrounding woods. In fact, it has a large parking area.

The path here runs alongside the Alento river. The environment is enchanting: the sound of flowing water mixes with that of the tree branches moving in the wind. It's perfect for finding some cool air on hot summer days. It can be easily reached from the Abbey of San Liberatore.

Section of the E1 path that leads from Preotoro to the hermit's cave and the Colle dell'Angelo. The path out of the town is quite easy, even the first stretch that leads to the stream is steeply downhill. You walk in the shade of a beautiful forest.
