  • Monte Falco - GEA

    June 29, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    The GEA (Grande Excursione Apeninica) is fantastic to hike. That's how it should be. Wide path and lots of beech trees and shadow. I haven't met so many people on the trail as here. And still it is not a lot.
    Often it feels like walking in "the green tunnel". Pretty nice.

  • Capanno di Citerna

    June 29, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    This was a kind of interesting experience at the evening. Pretty late in the evening, probably around 8pm, we've reached the closed Refugio Fontanelle. It's open only on weekends. But they have prepared it so nice for using it as a Bivacco. There is a separate room and they have had light and a plug for electricity. And fountain in front of the hut (with none drinkable water...well "actually it was drinkable"). I've only charged the phone and fed Lupo. The funny thing was, that before reaching the hut I have had a gusto for red wine. Cause I have read in the description of the hut, that they sell coffee and wine. But actually it was closed. But in the Bivacco, they have left the leftover of the red wine in a 5l plastic bottle. That's often in bivaccos. So I finally got some wine. Well...probably I have a little bit too much. I wanted to reach the nice and clean Capanno di Citerna and hiked further....and then the fun began! The wine showed its result and on the tricky trail steep downhill the earth was really turning around. I was talking a lot with Lupo and really took care about every step I've done. Roots everywhere. But finally there was this gorgeous viewpoint with fantastic views with an evening scenery. Only some minutes later I've reached the cabana and we've immediately got ready for the need sleep.

  • Probably the last night

    July 2, 2023 in Italy ⋅ 🌙 24 °C

    It's warm here... Lots of mosquitos and insects, cause of the low elevation and streams and the hefty rain the last weeks. At the first hills with the fantastic views there have been so many signs that camping is forbidden. So we walked further and further. Too touristy here. Now we are on a ridge which is not open and had this warm wind. I think it is good against the insects. Sandy ground, nice view. But in the valley them highway which you can hear a little bit. It just a good choice I guess. Butt I hope it will not rain.

  • The last km along river Reno

    July 3, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    The way into Bologna city is quite interesting too. Humid and hot. Loss off mosquitos. A feeling like being in Asia. Tough for the dog. Interesting this Via Degli Dei which is so famous here. Walking from Bologna to Firenze. The trail changes a lot in scenery. I can recommend to hike. Just 3 to 6 days depending on the daily milage.Read more
