팔롬바로 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Here the path leads along the entrance of the grotto and goes steeply uphill opposite.

The Pischioli is a refuge located under a rock spur with a fountain and a rest area equipped with tables adjacent to the refuge. It is located in a suggestive panoramic point with the Avello and Tre Grotte valleys and the Majella with a view of Cima Murelle looking up. Starting from Balzolo you pass the famous Pinna, which symbolizes the goddess Maja, also called Cimirocco. Skirting the aqueduct fence you climb steeply along a stony path, a couple of sections are slightly exposed but nothing transcendental. After the initial section the climb becomes a little less steep and passes through vegetation composed of juniper bushes, it is a slightly slippery climb especially in the case of rain. After a good hour of walking a clearing suddenly appears with the rock spur that guards the Pischioli refuge. A short distance from the refuge there are several pastoral caves of great beauty and the Madonna delle Sorgenti. To continue towards Pomilio, take the path uphill that will first lead to Rapina and then arrive among meadows and mountain pines at Pomilio. To descend from Pischioli it is possible, recommended in case of unstable or wet weather, to take the path that from the Pischioli equipped area enters the woods and descends towards Bocca di Valle, not taking the fork for Bocca di Valle the path will take us under Balzolo in the area reserved for parking cars. It is a longer but simple path that passes through a beautiful wood where there are several remains of walls of pastoral huts. There are several routes, more or less difficult, to reach it.

Cave not easy to reach, it is surprising that anyone at the time exploited these caves. Passing through it was a nice surprise.

A beautiful stretch of panoramic path (not suitable for those who are afraid of heights) which leads back to the dirt road that crosses the Avello valley

A Perfect place where to start or end hiking.

The Macarone waterfall can be reached after going through two tunnels and passing a pointed rock on the bend. On the left you will find a path marked by a pile of stones and a wooden pole. On one of the small stones you will find the inscription: "waterfall". Continue along the path up to a fork. Turning left you can see the waterfall. To get down there is a rope just ahead. It is recommended not to do it while sitting as it is quite slippery. Paying attention and holding on to the trunks of the tree, from the left it is possible to hold the rope by walking backwards along the sloping section. Pay attention to the slippery sections to get in front of the waterfall.

Arrived at the Martellese refuge, enjoy the splendid panorama of the Majella mountains.

A few meters before reaching an altitude of 2049m on the right is the small Martellese Hut, an altitude of 2035m, also called Rifugio d'Ugni.
