One of the oldest testimonies that the Abruzzo mountains preserve in this regard is the “Tavola dei Briganti,” a set of limestone slabs on which shepherds and brigands carved their names and stories, leaving a mark of their presence.
The Briganti Table is located on the Majelletta, just beyond the village of Blockhaus, Roccamorice and is also famous because at its foot grows the famous gentian, one of the oldest plants in our territories, whose use dates back to primitive peoples.
The brigands, who usually hid in the most inaccessible woods and caves, knew every nook and cranny and every secret of this ella of the mountains, and it is said that through these places they, too, discovered the benefits of the famous gentian plant.
