The heat set in this morning. By nine o'clock, all four vents on my trekking pants were wide open, and my softshell jacket—usually indispensable at this time of night—had long since disappeared deep in my backpack.
Despite the heat, today's hike was an experience. A longer section led along the ancient

Due to a cold, we took the bus for the eighth stage. Our motivation to cover 86% of the route on paved roads was limited anyway. For just €1.30 per person, we traveled over 20 kilometers – a real bargain! The bus was well-occupied, apparently not a bad choice for that day.
Fondi welcomed us with a beautiful

We set off in a cool 12°C. Today's stage was to be very short. For kilometers, we walked along one of the numerous drainage channels of a former marshland that had been drained for almost a hundred years.
Since the ground was still very wet from the previous day's heavy rain, it clung heavily to our boots

Rain. Lots of rain.
We saw that when we looked out the window this morning. So we postponed our departure significantly. Finally, we put on our Goretex and set off. Fortunately, the rain soon let up.
Nevertheless, a steep descent was extremely slippery – and it happened as it had to: I was sitting on my

Today was only a short hike – but tomorrow it can be even longer. We left Sermoneta in 8°C and bright sunshine that bathed the town in a golden light. Saying goodbye to this magical town wasn't easy.
Our route led uphill, past olive groves. One section of the hike had an almost alpine feel: partially

Although we covered at least five kilometers on paved roads, the panoramic views made up for the monotonous route. The Latina skyline accompanied us almost the entire day, as did the view of the Mediterranean Sea and the offshore islands.
We spent our lunch break at a viewpoint, followed by a short nap

The day began with an extremely modest breakfast, which, however, had the advantage of allowing us to set off without heavy stomachs. The journey out of Velletri turned out to be unexpectedly adventurous: the morning rush hour was in full swing, and the lack of sidewalks repeatedly caused us to tensely

With a view of Lake Albano, we enjoyed a hearty breakfast – delicious, even if it felt quite heavy on our stomachs for the first few kilometers. Our path then led us through a sea of blooming violets, further into the forest until we reached Nemi. This picturesque town, perched high above the lake of

The first day of our short trekking tour began with a real highlight: from St. Peter's Square in Rome along the Appian Way to our destination for the day. Bine had originally wanted to start at the Colosseum, but during our three days in Rome, I was able to convince her to add another five kilometers

Our last tour before heading home begins in the morning in Itri. The first few kilometers lead through a gently rolling landscape, past fields, olive groves, and small farms. Cyclamens bloom once again on both sides of the path, while dogs bark as we pass the farms – a familiar and sometimes tiring sound
