The best traffic-free bike rides around Torino Di Sangro

Wild and untouched pebble beach in a beautiful nature reserve. Spiaggia di Punta Aderci is one of the most beautiful and unspoiled beaches in Abruzzo. It is located directly below the iconic rocky point with the trabocco, hidden in the Riserva Naturale Regionale di Punta Aderci. This beach is perfect for nature lovers: no rows of umbrellas or loud beach bars, but pure nature, clear water, and an impressive view of the cliffs. The beach consists mainly of sand mixed with pebbles and stones. The water here is incredibly clear and invites you for a refreshing dip during your hike or bike tour along the coast.

Trabocco Punta Le Morge – Step into the world of fishermen Along the Via Verde lies one of the most authentic trabocchi on the Costa dei Trabocchi. Trabocco Punta Le Morge is special because it was not converted into a restaurant, but preserved as a public cultural monument. Here you can discover how generations of fishermen used ingenious wooden structures and enormous nets to bring in their catch. With a bit of luck, in the summer you can see the volunteers of Lu Travocche give a real fishing demonstration. The gigantic net is then hoisted from the Adriatic Sea using hand winches – just like a hundred years ago – an impressive spectacle. The surroundings are also worth a stop. The rugged coast with colorful pebbles and the imposing wooden structure form a beautiful photo location. If access is open, walk across the wooden bridge for free and admire up close the clever system of ropes, pulleys, and poles that has kept this iconic 'fishing spider' standing for over a century. Komoot tip: Put your bike aside for a moment and take the time to look around. There's a good chance a local traboccante will enthusiastically tell you about the history and operation of this unique fishing machine.

Nature trail Punta Aderci – Wild gravel paradise along the coast 🌊🚴 Here you cycle through the wildest and most untouched part of the Via Verde dei Trabocchi. The unpaved Sentiero Natura winds through the protected nature reserve Riserva Naturale di Punta Aderci, past cliffs, golden fields, and the azure Adriatic Sea. The gravel stretch takes you to spectacular viewpoints, where you overlook the iconic Trabocco di Punta Aderci and the impressive coastline. On clear days, you can even see the peaks of the Majella mountains on the horizon. A unique mix of wild nature, sea views, and adventure. Perfect for gravel bikes, mountain bikes, and sturdy e-bikes. Don't forget your camera and bring plenty of water, as there are no facilities along the way.

Not Suitable for Road bikes

I confirm the path seems closed. Thankfully, there is a small path on the side. A bit dangerous but possible to cross.

I passed through on my gravel bike; there's a passage, but it's very narrow. If there's a couple of you and you don't have an e-bike, the passage is doable with limited risk.

A short detour from the bike path, which is unpaved at this point, takes us to admire the view from Punta Aderci. Descending an easy path, we reach a small cove overlooking a typical trabocco.

The trail along the Sinello River, which rises in the Majella Mountains and flows into the Adriatic Sea, passes through a pristine natural landscape of woods and riverbanks. A peaceful and immersive route, ideal for those who love walking in nature.
