Day 31 Pontremoli to Previde

What a beautiful walk today. Up nearly 700m in the trees and over the passo della Crocetta (698m). Up for 14 stations of the cross and a chapel at the top. While it has always been a place of shelter for pilgrims the chapel was not built until 1841. Then it was down and around to my refuge for the night ( although I did get there early as I have divided my climb up the passo della Cisa into 2 days. I passed a nativity scene made of stone seemingly in the middle of nowhere. There were numerous stream crossings and waterfalls and occasional views of the valley that I have just climbed out of. No views of the passo della Cisa that I am to climb tomorrow. 1000m ascent in 11 km.
It is days like today and tomorrow that I am glad that I am going opposite to others so no one knows how slow I’m going 🐌Læs mere
