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.

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

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
