IN THE WILD WOODS OF THE PIZZO MOUNTAINS

WHAT WILL YOU DO :

The excursion to Mount Secine is dedicated to nature lovers and its beauties.
The route is developed from the equipped area of the Spring of Chicks, located between the municipalities of Palena and Gamberale, within the National Park of Maiella, a strategic point for lovers of camping and outdoor life.

The path crosses a thick beech forest to reach Valditerra; an agricultural area at about 1500 meters. of altitude and already frequented in ancient times by the Italian populations. Valditerra was the seat of an ancient medieval village called Pietrabbondante where people lived until 400 and abandoned it following a strong earthquake that devastated the Abruzzo period and the spread of the plague.

The destination of the excursion is the summit of Mount Secine at almost 1900 mt. of altitude, the second highest mountain in the Monti Pizzi chain and only one meter lower than its twin: Monte Basilio. The excursion passes mainly through wooded areas immersed in the green of nature.
