The Hannibal trail leads to
places of the important battles, but also to stunningly beautiful and interesting places you may never have heard of before.
More than 2000 years ago the Carthaginian general Hannibal
marched his army from Spain to the south of Italy to challenge the Romans.
He succeeded four times in defeating the Roman army, but lost the
war.
Of course you can do this trail on your own. Al the information you need is in
this page and more details per day if you click on the links in the schedule
Obviously on your own means: you have to organize yourself the excursions and dinners etc.
In may 2012 we will follow
Hannibal's
trail.
Join us in
your own or rented RV,
camper-van or car+trailer
and follow this outstanding general. We
do not drive in a column, but single or in small groups as you wish. At
the end of the day we meet on the camping where we have a lot
of fun and speak about Hannibal's achiefments.
You will find all reservations made and us to organize your trip
