Coming from the Fara San Martino gorges, the route becomes less narrow, even if it requires concentration and caution. We then arrive at the Vallone di Santo Spirito, where we find an area with tables and water fountains for resting.

After passing the narrow gorges of Fara San Martino the path widens and opens onto the Santo Spirito Valley. Along the route there are wooden tables and frozen water fountains. Legend has it that Fra Martino opened the mountain with his elbows to create an opening and allow the local inhabitants to reach the grassy clearings at the top of the mountain. Walking in these places you perfectly understand the origin of the legend. Magical places!

The gorges of Fara San Martino are among the most evocative and accessible places of the Majella. The route inside the gorges is easy and suitable for families. It allows you to get to know the mountain from the inside, through its very high rocks. For those who love challenges, from here they can undertake the climb to the summit of Mount Amaro and face the highest altitude difference in the Apennines!

Anyway worth a visit to see an old ruin in the middle of Abruzzo. Take enough water with you on hot days. On the way to this place you can see a waterfall and linger in the park at the De Cecco (noodles) company.

Between Palena and Lama dei Peligni the road is very scenic. South of the Majella National Park, slightly uphill (slightly downhill from Palena) with a view of the upper Aventine Valley.
