September 20, 2021,Fast 700 Hm auf 7 km. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️ Trapani auf Monte Erice. 20.09.2021

A very strenuous tour with almost 700 meters in altitude over 7 km. What then awaited us on Monte Erici was an unforgettable view that cannot be described with photos and words 😍. We spent a lot of time there and we were tired that we no longer made our way back on foot but with the gondola lift 🚡.

Avoiding the ascent by car and the search for a parking space, since we took the cable car from Trapani to the mountain town of Erice. Driving time approx. 10 minutes and a great all-round view. Erice is great for walking. It feels a bit cooler than in Trapani. All very relaxed, highly recommended.

With its narrow, picturesque streets, the old, small churches and the many other small details, you feel like you …
