Blockhaus, Mountain peak in Caramanico Terme, Italy
Rising to an elevation of 2,143 meters, Monte Blockhaus forms part of the Maiella massif within the Apennine mountain range of central Italy.
The mountain received its name from military installations constructed on its summit during World War II, with concrete structures remaining visible today.
The mountain paths near Blockhaus connect to ancient shepherd routes used by generations of Abruzzo inhabitants for seasonal livestock movement.
Multiple marked trails lead to the summit from different starting points, with the nearest mountain shelter located at Rifugio Marcello Di Marco.
