Finally we made it into Palmanova! After we came down from Godovic pass - happy about having left the mountains behind - we got surprised by hot, humid climate, strong headwinds and more climbs. With our legs already tired from the first half of the trip, the second half became very tough. Shortly after crossing the Italian border we stopped in a climatized eco-market to cool down. Then it was only 20 km left to Palmanova. Turned out to be a great choice to stay for the night.
Palmanova is a planned town, build in the xxth century. The city walls as well as the green belt around it and the inner structure remains intact, which makes it a very special place to visit.
After fueling our tired bodies with a huge salad and washing our clothes, we went for a walk through and around Palmanova. There are several well-signed walking tracks that lead you around the city. Perfect for our evening-walk.
Back to our hotel room we observe a spectacular thunderstorm from our window.Read more
