This stage of the Via Francigena has been very short because of heavy rain - actually, the stage is 22.4 km to Medesano. Since in Costamezzana, a tiny village, but a very charming hostel and a small trattoria (Scoiatollo, Italian for "squirrels"), I stopped here.
The path is very easy to walk, the first

Since the Via Francigena mainly runs along asphalt roads from Piacenza to the Apennines, I have come by train, which would have meant 34km of asphalt and was not even remodeled on hiking trails with Komoot.
Although the stage from Fiorenzuola to Fidenza is short, it is easily overlooked in terms of its

Again, I once again took a turn or detour from the Via Francigena in: Where it is in Cotrebbia Nuova just just go straight to the next village Malpaga, I am bent to Po, there it. According to Komoot, there is a footpath along the shore, which then leads across a ford over the tributary Trebbia, and then

For the most part, I followed the official road signing, except on the way to Miradolo Terme - I bypassed this place by walking straight on along the canal at the embankment, instead of turning left, as was excellent.
The path along the canal is pretty good at first, but ends later. But with good trekking

The actual stage of the Via Francigena leads from Pavia to Santa Cristina and Bissone Ind is 26.5 km. However, these run exclusively on asphalt, following the official signs, and unfortunately you can see nothing of the river Ticino, one of the largest tributaries of the Po.
I have therefore trusted local

The first part of the stage follows the official award of the Via Francigena. However, in the first village - San Germano Vercellese - I decided not to walk through the rice fields in the heat and instead skip the 3 days that the Via Francigena passes through Europe's largest rice-growing region.
I stopped

Again, I have departed from the official route of the Via Francigena to avoid the asphalt roads on local trails that have shaded and pleasant to run through forest. Nevertheless, I have taken the official intermediate stations: Small villages such. Cavaglia - not only for the chance of a cool drink in

Somewhat shorter version, which in part does not follow the official pilgrimage award by bypassing the town of Burolo. Instead, we follow small roads and paved agricultural roads, which lead us with about 3 km saving on direct route to Piverone.
Scenic to Ivrea very charming, later rather contemplative

Slowly you hike out of the magical Valle d'Aosta into Piedmont. Unfortunately still quite a lot of asphalt and road noise through the highway, which is unfortunately very clearly heard here in the narrow gorges.
One is rewarded by many witnesses of Roman history, such as the gate of Donnas and the remaining

This stage of the Via Francigena leads through rolling hills and is pleasant to walk. Unfortunately, my entire Apennine leg from Fidenza to Pontremoli was characterized by frequent downpours, which made the simple paths and small brooks the purest slaughter. It was still fun: the light was beautiful
