Travel Tour Overview
The hike in the Bosco di Sant'Antonio, located in Pescocostanzo at the foot of the Majella, offers a unique experience immersed in an unspoiled natural environment. This forest, which in ancient times was considered a sacred place dedicated to Jupiter and was later consecrated to Saint Anthony in the Middle Ages, is now an area of great ecological and historical value. Walking along its snow-covered trails, you have the opportunity to explore a centuries-old forest, where trees such as beech, maple, oak, yew, and other species, including the rare heart-shaped pear, create a truly evocative landscape. The area is also home to a rich variety of wildlife, including the White-backed Woodpecker, the Dalmatian Woodpecker, and predators like wolves and bears, which testify to the vitality of the ecosystem.
