Trekking and hiking on the Maiella
The Majella National Park offers numerous trails that can satisfy both the hikers and visitors who wish to occasionally take a short walk. Most of the paths of the
Maiella National Park were created by marking those who were the ancient paths of these mountains.
The existing network of paths allows you to visit all the major environmental, historical and cultural Maiella. Each route is "on topic" and you can choose your route
based on the characteristics of the area. Along the paths meet mainly beech forests, and if you are lucky you can see bears, deer, wolves, deer and wild boar. Some trails allow you to
see deep valleys and natural beauty, others are very short and lead to hermitages, monasteries, fortresses and pastoral huts.
Lovers of mountain trekking and there are also high altitude in some cases are very tiring but repay the effort made, both from a naturalistic landscape that. The
views from these trails ranges over Central Apennines and a long stretch of Adriatic coast, from the Marche to Gargano.
Along these paths are rare flora and of great beauty and in particular we point out three paths of interest, to go in stages (or only partially).
You are advised to always seek the advice of a guide or companion of the place.
The network path of the Majella National Park offers trails suitable for every season: in winter and autumn, the choice is limited to the shares lower. The spring and summer periods are more suitable to be able to walk in peace.
