Trabocco di Le Morge

Highlight • Monument

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.

Trabocchi Fishing Huts on the Costa dei Trabocchi

Highlight • Structure

The trabocchi built along this stretch of coast are located totally in the water, connected to the mainland by means of a more or less stable walkway placed transversely to the coast.

Via Verde Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Via Verde dei Trabocchi – Cycling on the most beautiful balcony of the Adriatic Sea.

If there is one cycle path you must ride in your life, it is the Via Verde dei Trabocchi.

This breathtaking cycle path, over 50 kilometers long, is built on a spectacular route of a former railway line, right along the rugged coast of the Italian region of Abruzzo. Because the route is never steep and is completely car-free, it is pure, carefree enjoyment for every type of cyclist.
You are literally cycling a stone's throw from the lapping water.
Historical, cool railway tunnels, hidden pebble coves (calette), and idyllic little harbors alternate at a dizzying pace.

The absolute main characters along the route are the iconic trabocchi: monumental, centuries-old wooden fishing platforms on stilts that float like giant spiders above the turquoise sea. Formerly a clever invention of local fishermen, today they are the most unique seafood restaurants you will ever see.
