Today our penultimate stage takes us again for a short detour to Slovenia, to the Lipizzaner horses and over the karst plateau to the beautiful Val Rosandra. Since the distance with 25 km is again very long, we leave earlier and are already at 9.30 am at the stud of Lipizza. We walk between the paddocks with white fences and...
Today welcomes us with sunshine and breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice. Since our third last stage is only 10 km, we want to enjoy the sunny weather over the Adriatic, So we walk the Strada Napoleonica again in the sunlight. We take the way over the place of pilgrimage on Monte Grisa. The church is built in reinforced concrete...
There will be no prosecco in the village of the same name today; instead only water and again quite a lot from above. It' s a raining day. At Hotel Aurora, our breakfast table is lovely covered and there are delicious homemade treats such as focaccia and frittata, as well as freshly baked bread. The Rilke path to Sistina is...
Slept and strengthened with an excellent breakfast with cereal, fresh fruit, egg with various hams, mountain cheese, hard cheese, dolce, special teas, pizza, and much more, we only set off around 10.30 am in cloudy skies, but dry road. Out of the city we go to an old acquaintance, the Soca, which here in Italy is called Isonzo. After...
Early in the morning we leave the Albergo Felkaro after a bad breakfast. We can't recommend her further, even though she still had 5.7 out of 6.0 points in booking.com in 2019. It's a mystery to us, we don't know if it's because of Corona, but on us the whole hotel made a very neglected if not unkempt impression. We...
Since today's stage is supposed to be less than 15 km, we have breakfast in peace and say goodbye to the beautiful Hotel San Martin. First of all, it goes down a wet path, from the night rain, quite steeply on a little busy road through vineyards and small villages. We are accompanied by butterflies, grey herons and an...
The next morning starts very cloudy with light drizzle. But when we're on our way, it's already going to stop. Through small villages and vineyards we walk along the cherry blossom trail to Dobrovo. In the light of the morning sun spinking behind the black clouds, we take beautiful pictures of the vines wetted with water drops. In front...
We say goodbye to Cividale, have enough time to stroll consciously through the alleys and over the squares, because on the one hand the stage is short today, on the other hand it is still early and on a Monday morning very little going on. Yesterday morning the squares and restaurants were well visited. We learn from a guest that...
Our tour today takes us up the winding national road over a long distance on asphalt. The first hour is fast with 4.3 km. This is a new "start to the day record". From the road, the trail finally branches off into the green, but it gets steeper and more and more swaying on our way. There are hardly...
Today we hike through the Valle di Natione on the high path 757 along the hill chain through lonely mountain villages and over green meadows with impressive panoramic views. On a pasture, 2 horses come directly to greet us, quite trustingly they let themselves be stroked. The pilgrimage route to the oldest pilgrimage site in northern Italy,...
