Taken at the beginning of June, a wonderful place and the best time to tackle it. I already miss it 🙁

Even a short stop? Absolutely worth it. At Trabocco Punta Torre, a special fishing structure from 1850, time almost seems to stand still. The enormous wooden arms, cables, and nets are still used today for traditional net fishing, exactly as it happened generations ago. What makes this place extra special is the warm welcome from manager Claudio. Passers-by and cyclists are regularly spontaneously invited to take a look. With visible enthusiasm, he explains how the ingenious system works and how the nets are lowered into the Adriatic Sea via a mechanical lifting mechanism. A short stop that not only lets you experience a piece of history but also provides an encounter that you will remember for a long time.

I confirm the path seems closed. Thankfully, there is a small path on the side. A bit dangerous but possible to cross.

I passed through on my gravel bike; there's a passage, but it's very narrow. If there's a couple of you and you don't have an e-bike, the passage is doable with limited risk.
