    Trabocco Spezzacatene – The 'Chain Breaker' of the Via Verde
    Trabocco Spezzacatene (literally: Chain Breaker) is an absolute must-stop during your bike tour along the Via Verde!


    This historic construction owes its rugged name to the brutal storms and gigantic waves that have been defying the wooden poles here for decades.

    Located in the municipality of Fossacesia, right next to Trabocco Punta Torre, this is one of the most authentic and photogenic trabocchi on the entire coastline. Unlike the large restaurants nearby, Spezzacatene is truly dedicated to culture, fishing heritage, and the legendary Verì family of builders.

    It is located on the busiest part of the Costa dei Trabocchi. On holidays and in the high season it is a very crowded point so you have to be careful with bikes, especially pedestrians and children. I highly recommend everyone to continue southwards to Punta Aderci (total 45km from Ortona) to enjoy one of the most beautiful views in the region.

    Trabocco Punta Tufano, now a restaurant, is the most characteristic because it is equipped with the typical fishing nets.
    Since 2006, after the restoration, they have offered educational and cultural activities based on the knowledge, conservation and valorization of the local environmental and cultural heritage.
