SPECIAL EVENT: The transhumance of horses at Voltigno, November 26, 2023

November 26, 2023, from 09:00 to 15:00 Event organized by Wolftour discover Abruzzo

The main experience of Pastoral Culture, transhumance today becomes a tourist and ancestral path that retraces the “calleso viariaes”, i.e. ancient sheep tracks. The Terre Vestine are characterized by vast summer pastures at high altitude, the precious mountain pastures (Voltigno, Valle d’Angri, Rigopiano). The use of this form of cyclical commuting of animals and men, better known as “transhumance”, already adopted in Roman times, seems to have actually been practiced since prehistoric times. The roads through which the movements took place were the so-called “tratturi”, rudimentary roads almost always made up of unpaved paths, but simply dirt roads beaten by the trampling of numerous animals in their periodic comings and goings, but still delineated in such a way as to form a system infrastructure sufficiently branched to allow transhumance from the various mountain areas of Abruzzo. THE TRANSHUMANITY OF HORSES will be held on November 26, 2023, from 9 am to 3 pm. The cost per person is 30 euros and includes the tourist route, the snack and the sdijuno vestino (typical shepherd’s snack). Info and reservations at number 0858278444 Reservation is mandatory

Program and date may change in case of adverse weather forecasts
