Other Italian lakes - in Bomba, Abruzzo!

by juna71

Bomba LakeGorgeous artificial little lake (just 7km in length) in the heart of Abruzzo in Majella National Park. It is strategically positioned between sea (25 min drive) and mountains (1h drive to Italy's third largest resort of Roccaraso) and if offering multitude of opportunities for relaxing holiday. The scenery can not be more dramatic and interesting - imagine high mountains on the background, gentle hills in Sangro Valley full of olive groves and vineyards and lush vegetation of National Park. It is not easy to say what you can not do in Bomba, there are excellent facilities for cycling (try tip along the shore from Isole Verde to Il Soffio on the other side of the lake and further to Villa Santa Maria), horse riding, trekking. There are two swimming pools and two good restaurants just on the shore of the lake and canoe and pedalo hire facilities. You can also do fishing,...

All in between them there are forest-covered promontaries and hidden little old towns with plenty of things to visit Of all the coastline, my favourite corner is a short stretch of coast called "riviera dei trabocchi". It starts near Ortona, finishes at San Salvo and soon it'll probably become a National Park. To understand why you need to know what a "trabocco" is: it's an old traditional aerial structure that served as a fishing machine. One example is the one in the picture on the left: there's plenty of "wooden arms" with nets attached to it on the machine, and it's operated by a large number of cables. What it does is to scoop into the sea - then it comes up with whatever...
