The ancient sheep trails still crossing Abruzzo
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Why hike a standard mountain path when you can retrace a two-millennium-old livestock superhighway?

Walking them today feels like trespassing on ancient Roman infrastructure, leading you straight past medieval toll booths where shepherds were historically fleeced by local tax collectors.
