Excursion Eremi Valley & Santa Maria di Pulsano Abbey (Gargano)

DESCRIPTION

The silent ascent in this mystic valley
It is a must do excursion, considering the high level of the panoramic views and emotions due to the natural beauty and the mystical/religious meaning to which the whole valley and the region are related. Do not forget that this marvelous Abbey and its hermitages are located in the heart of a territory that includes the most important places for spirituality, such as San Michele Arcangelo in Monte Sant’Angelo, the Basilica of Siponto and the abbey of San Leonardo in Lame in Manfredonia, and San Giovanni Rotondo.
The route is extraordinarily rich in panoramic views of the valley, where nature explodes in all its beauty. Here, it is often possible to admire falcons and swallows, or come across one of the 90 species of orchids as this valley is their best habitat.
Spiritually and historically, the valley and the mountain’s peak provide important ideas for reflection. Hermitages and caves carved out of the porous, calcareous rock will bring you back into the past. These sites trace their origins back to the 17th and 18th centuries and are totally integrated into the hermitage system of the Abbey of Santa Maria di Pulsano, a real silent village embedded into the rock.
Do not forget one of the most ‘instagrammable’ aspects of the excursion that is the panoramic views, such as the valley and especially the Abbey overlooking the Gulf of Manfredonia and beyond, in the direction of the “Tavoliere” and the Lucanian mountains.
