The weekend of April 25 and 26<\/strong> sees the return of one of the most eagerly awaited events in Italian rail tourism: the Sulmona-Isernia historic train<\/strong>, an extraordinary journey along the 128 kilometers of the Parks Railway<\/strong>, which has been fully reopened after a seven-year wait.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, April 25, the historic train will travel from Abruzzo to Molise<\/strong>, while on Sunday, April 26, it will take the reverse route, giving passengers an authentic slow travel experience through the central Apennines.<\/p>\n

A time travel experience<\/strong><\/p>\n

To board the historic Sulmona-Isernia train<\/strong> is to rediscover the slow pace of travel of yesteryear. The vintage carriages<\/strong>, with wooden interiors and large windows, offer a privileged view of one of Italy’s most striking railway landscapes. <\/p>\n

The route crosses silent plateaus, deep valleys and small<\/strong> Apennine villages<\/strong>, which seem to look out to greet the passage of the convoy, turning the journey into a true tale in motion.<\/p>\n

From the Plain of Cinquemiglia to Upper Molise.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the Cinquemiglia Plain<\/strong> to the mountains ofUpper Molise<\/strong>, the historic train traverses rugged and unspoiled territories, snow-covered in winter and bright in summer, where nature is the absolute protagonist.<\/p>\n

On board, time slows down: it’s not the destination that matters, but the journey itself, made up of slow-flowing landscapes, shared waits, gazes that are lost on the horizon, and stories exchanged between passengers.<\/p>\n

The Parks Railway: culture, memory and slow tourism<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Parks Railway<\/strong> is not only a historic railway line, but a true cultural and scenic experience.<\/strong> This itinerary invites people to rediscover a different way of traveling, in which the train becomes a collective memory<\/strong> and the territory is revealed curve after curve along the track. <\/p>\n

An ideal trip for those who love slow tourism<\/strong>, railroad history, Apennine villages and the great natural spaces between Abruzzo and Molise.<\/p>\n
