Panorama seen from the cycle path
0

The Belvedere Trabucco is a panoramic viewpoint located in Grado, precisely along the dam that borders the historic center and overlooks the Adriatic Sea. This place takes its name from the "trabucchi", the ancient and ingenious wooden fishing machines typical of the Adriatic coasts, characterized by long arms that support a balance net. Although trabucchi are more famous in Gargano or on the Abruzzo coast, even in Grado these structures have marked the history of lagoon fishing. The belvedere offers a breathtaking view that ranges from the Friulian coasts to the profile of Trieste and Istria on clearer days. It is an unmissable stop for those walking along the seafront promenade, transforming into a magical place at sunset, when the wooden structure of the trabucco stands out like a dark shadow against the bright colors of the sky and water.
