The 37th activity on the 34th 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 kicked off among the ruins. It was once a city with 20,000

The 36th tour on the 33rd day took me to Monte Costa San Angelo, a really very beautiful tour. It went steadily and steeply uphill and then similarly back down, but the paths today were really where they should be according to the map and in good condition and easy to walk. Most of the time you walk

I don't know why the GPS is pushing the tour back 2 days, but the route was run today on 24.05.26.
The 35th tour on the 32nd day went from the campsite in Troia over a vineyard through a lot of agricultural land. The area here is dominated by a gentle hilly landscape with many olive trees, vines and grain

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 33rd tour on the 31st day led me east along the steep coast. You can't just follow a path along the steep coast here, but it constantly goes up and down from one bay to the next. As soon as you are no longer on paths that can also be used by cars, but are only for pedestrians or hikers, these are

The 32nd tour on the 30th day held a few surprises. For this morning I had planned a much shorter tour, but since the paths on the maps are rarely present in nature, but instead there are paths in nature, of which I don't know where they will eventually lead, nothing could be carried out as planned

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.

For the 30th tour on the 27th day of our long journey, I had planned to walk further along the cliff coast than yesterday. However, I started on the upper part of the cliff coast and went as far as the lighthouse. Afterwards, I went around the lighthouse to walk back along the cliff at the bottom. The

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

Day 26 and tour 28. This morning, I first went towards the harbor and then along the steep coast of Otranto. The sunrise over the sea was simply fantastic again, fishermen were sitting in the cliffs again and again. The mood this morning, with the reflection of the sun in the sea, the crystal green water

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

On the 25th day, on the 26th tour, we went through what felt like endless orchards and olive groves. Most are lemons, but also nectarines, apricots, oranges, and wild-growing prickly pears and figs. A relaxed hike without many altitude meters, but with a wide landscape. Today, it even happened once that

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

The 38th tour on the 36th day offered me many paths that are not recorded on Open Street Map. And Komoot, AllTrails, Outdooractive, Alpenvereinaktiv and other hiking apps use Open Street Map as their base material. Unfortunately, I cannot say whether the premium versions have more paths recorded. So
