THOLOS: DRY-STONE HUTS
Our eagle Maja carries on exploring the beautiful Majella National Park.
Autumn colors are transforming the Park aspect and during one of its flights to enjoy this spectacle of nature, Maja will discover the story hidden behind the dry-stone tholos huts, present in the territory.
The different shades of green in the woods are taking on tinges of yellow, red and brown. The silence of the valleys is broken by the grazing deer’s bell, gluttonous for the generous gifts of Nature. Waters of rivers and brooks are copious, thanks to the tardy rains of late Summer.
Our friend Maja observes the colors of the nature surrounding the
THE BENEFITS OF NATURE
We have seen how our friend Maja arrived to be in a state of peace and joy, flying among the secret wonders of Majella Park.
Now, let us see where this positive mood comes from.
There are several benefits, Nature and its elements can offer. On the top of the list, there is
THE ROAD TO THE HEREMITAGE OF SANTO SPIRITO: THE PARETE DELL'ORSO, THE FREE CLIMBING AND THE HEREMITAGE
After the wonderful experience of the Hermitage of San Bartolomeo, our eagle Maja goes on exploring the Majella Park. This time it will discover another among the places of worship, present in the Abruzzo region: the Hermitage of Santo Spirito, and it will fly over the wide area that surrounds it, watching one of the usual activities followed in this part of Majella: the free climbing along the ‘Parete dell’Orso’ (Wall of the Bear).
Our friend Maja, always looking for adventures, decides to roost near the junction connecting the hamlet of Roccamorice, the Blockhaus and the Hermitage of San Bartolomeo. Its wait is soon rewarded, when
WATER
In the previous article, our friend Maja, after its visit to the Hermitage of San Bartolomeo, refreshed itself drinking the crystal-clear water from the Spring of Catenaccio, which seems to have miraculous properties. However, can water and springs have such a power?
In Western culture, water is an element often taken for granted that is actually essential to life. Suffice it to think of populations, living in dry regions, or in habitats where water is contaminated. It is easy to understand its importance, if we think that life originates from such element. Nevertheless, what is water exactly? Is it only a liquid composed of several substances, whose main molecule is formed of three atoms, two hydrogens and one oxygen? Or is it something more complex? Recently I read a book by Masaru Emoto, entitled "The True Power of Water". Let us see together what this book is about.
Masaru Emoto, writer and passionately fond of alternative medicine, one day was enchanted with a phrase: "There are no two identical snowflakes in the world". Surely, you also have been impressed from something at the point to strongly wish to deepen the subject. Therefore, Masaru decided
THE FIRST JOURNEY OF MAJA: THE HERMITAGE OF SAN BARTOLOMEO
A hearty welcome to all readers of our Blog! In the previous articles, I explained why the blog is called the Eagle of the Majella and where the name Maja comes from. What I did not tell you is that our eagle is now just an eaglet, dealing with its first flight lessons. In this article I will tell you about its first flight on the Vallone dello Spirito (the Spirit deep narrow Valley), where it is hidden one of the wonders of the Majella Park: the Hermitage of San Bartolomeo in Legio.
Our eagle Maja that is able now to master the art of flying, decides to explore the area surrounding the farm stay. Starting from the Borgo San Martino, it flies past the hamlet of
