Abbey of San Giovanni in Venere

Highlight • Religious Site

Abbey of San Giovanni in Venere – The divine balcony of Abruzzo.

Resolutely hit the brakes and swap the coastline for a short, sporty climb up the hill for a moment. Atop the Promontorio di Venere awaits one of Italy's most magical and spiritual places.

The Abbey of San Giovanni in Venere. This impressive 12th-century abbey was built on the foundations of an ancient Roman temple dedicated to the goddess of love, Venus. Surrounded by ancient olive groves, this place exudes a serene tranquility that contrasts beautifully with the lively beaches below.

Why is this an absolute top highlight?
The ultimate Belvedere! Next to the abbey is a beautiful viewing platform. From this 'balcony', you look down in bird's-eye view on the perfect crescent bay of the Golfo di Venere and see the trabocchi like small wooden spiders lying in the turquoise sea.
The hidden monastery garden: step inside for free and wander through the idyllic cloister (chiostro). The inner courtyard full of flowers and the graceful arched windows offer welcome coolness on a warm summer day.
The mysterious crypt: descend the stairs under the altar. In the crypt, you can admire beautiful, well-preserved 13th-century frescoes.

Komoot tip: the climb from the Via Verde in Fossacesia Marina to the abbey is short but steep. With an e-bike, you'll be there in no time, but even under your own power, this panorama is truly worth every drop of sweat. An unforgettable cultural and photo stop!

Trabocco Punta Torre

Highlight • Structure

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.

Via Verde dei Trabocchi

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Here the Adriatic Cycle Route runs directly by the sea over a bridge and through a tunnel. The colors are just gorgeous! In general, I recommend bringing enough sun protection with you when you are on this bike path.
