Trekking between nature and spirituality in the magical Gargano
Gargano. Imagine the most beautiful places in the world who did drawings by children on the horizon of our imagination, let's seas, lakes, mountains, forests of beech and find that the places of the imagination nosta exist, are those of Apulia, in the heart of Gargano.
It took 10 minutes Brain Walking in the forest umbra to start Pino Dellasega, orienteer with his friend Gabriel Avenue, the idea of Trekking Angel, a new challenge, a circular route of about 120 km. that touches the beautiful scenery of the Gargano.
The Trekking Angel takes its name from one of the oldest places of Christianity and that is the Cave of where there was the appearance of the Archangel Michael, and that over the centuries has seen passing Sovereigns, Popes and St. Francis D 'assisi to pray.
Trekking will transit to Peschici and from here, along the coast, passing through Rhodes Town, will come to Lake Varano where there is the Christ of Waters, from here you will take place on the ridge above the Tremiti Islands and reach San Marco in Lamis with its namesake monastery. Continues its route passing and giving opportunities to trekkers or nordicwalker visit San Giovanni Rotondo with the places where he lived San Pio and where is currently buried in the new church designed by the Plan. Passed over the top over San Giovanni Rotondo continues through olive groves up on the opposite side of the Gargano skirting the town of Manfredonia and continue along the promenade that leads to morning, where you can admire the more than 140 species of orchids, a unique spectacle. From morning we climb up to Monte Sant'Angelo where, passing the old country we come to the Cave of the Angel, extraordinary place and lofty spirituality.
Trekking continues in a latch into the forest Umbra, which takes its name from obscurity, as the sun's rays are struggling to hit the ground. The forest is something wonderful, beech trees on a plot of easy practicability and marked by beautiful sheep tracks. Continue downhill towards the village of Peschici Ischitella to reach again.
