Hiking

Decontra is a hamlet in the municipality of Caramanico Terme, in the province of Pescara, an excellent starting point for both the loop tour of the two hermitages (Eremo di Santo Spirito a Majella and Eremo di San Bartolomeo in Legio) and the loop in the Orfento valley. If you combine the two loops, it's about 34 km, with a considerable difference in altitude (about 1300m).
