"The pleasure of cycling is that of freedom itself."
Did you know that the "Costa dei Trabocchi" was an important place of inspiration for Gabriele D'Annunzio?
He described these fishing machines as "colossal spiders," so ingenious that they could be capable of "living of their own harmony, having an air and effigy of a soul body."
The trabocchi still retain their typical characteristics: narrow paths leading to the banks, crossing wild vegetation. But their charm lies in the symbiosis created between these structures and the surrounding landscape, creating a unique and unforgettable scenery.
If you have never been to the Costa dei Trabocchi, come and discover it! Thanks to the bike path that runs along a long stretch of the coastline, you can experience the beauty of the nature reserves conveniently while you are on your bike! Then, if you get hungry, you can always have lunch on one of the trabocchi, because most of them are now used as restaurants.
