The Tour 55 of day 52 was supposed to be a leisurely bike tour around the beautiful lake. But in parts, it became more of a journey of horror. And that despite the tour having been planned by a cycling app. The start of the tour was good at first, until the point when we crossed the main road (SS47

Activity 53 on day 51 was just a short walk by Lake Caldonazzo after the somewhat longer drive from Chioggia. An excellent pitch with all services for a good price (25€), what more could you want. We are standing fantastically just a hundred meters from the lake and the surroundings are bordered by mountains

Activity 51 on the 49th day involved multiple modes of transport. First, we cycled from the parking spot to the old town of Chioggia, from there we walked through the old town with its alleys, squares and many churches, and then by excursion boat into the large canals and harbor areas the boat could

Activity No. 46 on Day 44, we went from the campsite into the small town of Monteforino and there specifically through the old town with its narrow alleys and many stairs. The alleys lead almost spirally or like a snail shell to the highest point in the village. A peaceful and picturesque small village

Activity 43 on day 41 was a bike ride to the next town, Giulianova. What's nice about this area is that there's a continuous cycle path, separated from car traffic. The path isn't comfortably wide, but it's okay. Most of the time, you cycle behind the beach and thus by the sea. In Giulianova, we treated

The 37th activity on the 35th day was dedicated to visiting the excavations of Pompeii. Upon entry and ticket purchase, you are greeted by the typical Italian organization, which is probably best understood by Italians. But then it immediately began among the ruins. It was once a city with 20,000 - 40

On the 34th activity on the 31st day, the path led us far up into the old and tranquil village of Peschici, which lies above our pitch. Those who want to go to the village on foot climb the approx. 100 meters of altitude via stairs. You can reach the village in half an hour at most. We then first treated

The 31st activity on the 28th day led us to a touristically marketed highlight, the Trulli village in Alberobello. The houses with the round roofs are called Trulli. The roofs are made of hewn stones and are loosely laid on top of each other. Because they were not permanently built, the residents did

Day 27 and activity 31. Before we continue tomorrow, we strolled through the small alleys of the old town again, enjoyed a refreshment, and we are both of the opinion that this city is worth a trip.

Day 26 and tour number 29. We had planned a bike tour for the afternoon. And because I was so enthusiastic about the coastal landscape, we rode along the coast towards the south. Additionally, we could use the tailwind on the section where most of the climbs were. However, the stronger headwind on the

Still day 25 and the 27th activity. We are in Otranto for the next few days, a really beautiful small town. After arriving at the pitch, we treated ourselves to a short break after the drive. In the late afternoon, we went into the pretty old town of Otranto. From here there is even a shortcut, so you

Today we continued on to the next parking spot, but we are only staying here for one night. Of course, after the drive and a late lunch, we explored the surroundings again. That would then be activity 25 on day 24. The parking spot is located just 50 m behind the beach. There is a proper promenade that

Somehow I managed to delete the tour again, even though I had uploaded it yesterday. It is still day 22, however the 23rd tour. In the afternoon, we went by bike to the next small town to treat ourselves to some cappuccino and cake. Luckily, apart from two small sections, we were able to stay away from

On day 20, with Tour 21, there was only a walk through the old town of Messina. We are at a well-secured parking spot in the middle of the city. Tomorrow we will take the ferry back to the mainland, to Calabria. We could have skipped the excursion into the old town. There are a few large old buildings

Activity number 60 on the 57th day was a walk through the old town of Sommerhausen, which really seems beautifully dreamy and has many small alleys and well-preserved old buildings. Everything looks neat and tidy. But our real goal was a beer garden on the other side of the Main, which is said to have
