Trabocchi and Coastal Bike Path, Marina di San Vito

Highlight • Cycleway

The stretch around San Vito Chietino and Marina di San Vito is considered the absolute highlight of the route. Here, spectacular views, historic railway tunnels, and the largest concentration of trabocchi alternate. An unforgettable coastal tour not to be missed.

Very nicely located and well-kept picnic area with several tables and a hammock. The view is fantastic, as you have the sea in front of your nose and you can also marvel at a beautiful trabucco (a stilt house set up for fishing).

Trabocco Mucchiola

Highlight • Monument

Trabocco Mucchiola – Picnic with sea view

Trabocco Mucchiola is a lovely place to take a break during your tour along the Via Verde dei Trabocchi. Next to the cycle path, there is a shady picnic area with tables, ideal for resting, eating something, or simply enjoying the view of the Adriatic Sea.

The charming wooden trabocco stands on the rocky Punta Mucchiola and is one of the first fishing platforms you will encounter south of Ortona. Thanks to its splendid location, this is also a beautiful stop along the route to capture a beautiful memory.

Adriatic Cycle Route

Highlight • Cycleway

The Trabucchi cycle path (officially known as the Via Verde dei Trabocchi) is a beautiful, largely flat cycle path over 50 kilometers long that runs along the Adriatic coast of the Italian region of Abruzzo on a former railway line. The path owes its name to the trabocchi (singular: trabocco): unique, monumental wooden fishing platforms on stilts that rise above the water like giant spiders.

Punta dell'Acquabella Beach

Highlight • Beach

Spiaggia di Punta dell'Acquabella – Hidden nature gem

Near the cycle tunnel in Ortona lies Spiaggia di Punta dell'Acquabella, one of the most beautiful and pristine beaches on the Costa dei Trabocchi. This protected nature reserve is surrounded by high cliffs and a fragrant pine forest and is known for its crystal-clear, turquoise water – ideal for a refreshing dip during a hot bike ride.

Behind the beach lie the silent ruins of the former fishing village Borgo dell'Acquabella, which has been abandoned since the 1970s. The turn-off to the beach is also located near the impressive murals by Millo, making both highlights perfectly combinable.

Please note that this is a natural pebble beach without any facilities. Bring plenty of drinking water, and water shoes are definitely recommended if you want to enter the clear water.

Via Verde dei Trabocchi

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Here the Adriatic Cycle Route runs directly by the sea over a bridge and through a tunnel. The colors are just gorgeous! In general, I recommend bringing enough sun protection with you when you are on this bike path.
