What would you do in Abruzzo

So if you have decided on a holiday exploring Abruzzo where would you go and what would you do?

There are few guide books for the region and those that do exist do seem to have left out some of the more interesting but lesser known places. I particularly enjoy visiting the ancient hermitages up in the mountains -In Roccamorice you can visit 2 although one is a bit of a trek. The mountain road above Serramonacessca has a lane off it where you can leave your car and walk up to the (restored) hermitage of Saint Onofrio.
