Today's tour took us along former transhumance trails, which in earlier times shepherds used to drive their flocks from the summer pastures on the high alpine pastures to the valleys at the end of summer, along the Fango River. This area is a nature reserve, and only 350 people live in the four small

Today we were lucky with the weather: blue skies all day, a light breeze (for cooling), and excellent views of the sea and the surrounding mountain peaks. We hiked partly along narrow donkey paths, but also along comfortable gravel paths, to the old mountain village of Sant'Antonino. The lushly flowering

Today we first took the bus to Punta di Spanu, from where we started our coastal hike. The macchia in full bloom, stunning cliff and rock formations, and small, charming bays (where you could even swim) continually amazed and admired us. The rain and wind that soon set in also created a very special atmosphere...

After arriving in Calvi early this morning, we went on our first exploration tour in pleasant weather: a pretty town, and since the season hasn't started yet, there aren't too many tourists—a very relaxed atmosphere. Along the harbor, there are many small restaurants and cafés where you can enjoy a drink

On the last day of our hiking week, the ascent to the mountain village on the 751 m high mountain of the same name, Erice, was on the agenda. According to legend, Aeneas ascended here (perhaps we followed in his footsteps?) and buried his father Anchises here....
Erice sits like an eagle's nest at the

Today's tour took us to the small island of Levanzo, where only about a hundred people live. The ferry took us to the island in about 50 minutes, which we then explored in a beautiful tour. In addition to the diverse flora, Levanzo also has another highlight: the Genoese Cave, which was first discovered

Today we were already very satisfied with the weather, it was very windy and cloudy, sometimes sunny, but we got through the day dry! First, we stopped by a marble processing plant, where we were able to take a look at the working methods and received informative explanations.
Then it was off to a wonderful

In the early afternoon we started a short hike, which first took us along the coast and then uphill through a beautiful, varied landscape to the Mangiapane Cave. Even after the Second World War, people who practiced agriculture lived here. In the small houses located below the rocks, you can still see

Today's alternative program first took us to the salt pans of Trapani (Salina di Nubia). Salt has been extracted here for centuries, about which the small Museo del Sale provides information. A large number of salt pans at different depths were created here (the Phoenicians brought this knowledge here

We had to take a break today due to stormy weather warnings and rain. The mayor of Trapani even recommended leaving the house only in urgent cases. Around noon we made our way anyway, strolled through the streets and then found a good restaurant where we feasted on spaghetti or risotto. Then a short

Today's hike took us to the Zingaro Nature Reserve in the far NW of the island. Unfortunately, the weather forecast called for clouds and a high chance of rain, and this turned out to be true. We hiked up and down beautiful trails above the shoreline, through a varied landscape of lush greenery, fan

To round off our hiking week, we embarked on a somewhat longer, more difficult tour today. A steep path led us ever upwards through the Bonifatu forest over rocky cliffs, large and small boulders. At times, our hands were quite helpful for scrambling, and twice we had to cross streams, which also presented
