A fantastic day of hiking with a climb up Monte Comune and breathtaking views of the entire Sorrento peninsula and all the way to Capri 🤩 (check out the photo!).
Starting in Termini, I first followed hiking trails, then took the so-called "Sorrento Walks" to Colli di Fontanelle, where I then switched

Today, I headed from Piano di Sorrento to Sorrento itself. A town with a high level of tourist development and accordingly packed with tourists. Very beautiful to look at, and I particularly liked the small harbor with the Marina Grande. I then continued towards Massa Lubrense, climbing the extremely

After leaving Pompei and taking a short hike, I reached the sea again in Castellammare di Stabia. Now I had two options: scramble high over the mountains or follow the coastal road down by the sea. Today I opted for the gentler route, but included two short detours to slightly higher paths. They were

So today, the alternative route to Pompei – through the valley. It was a nice walk at first – then, as expected, a lot of country roads. I arrived at the Pompei Archaeological Park around 1:30 p.m. and they wouldn't let me in with my backpack (it was too big!). The luggage storage was completely full

Today I climbed Mount Vesuvius via the "Valle dell'Inferno" hiking trail, one of the few currently unclosed trails leading up to the "Gran Cono" crater trail. "Normal" people drive up by car or bus to an altitude of 1,000 meters, then only walk the last few meters to the crater rim. Therefore, I had

So, a very short hike that took me to Ottaviano at the foot of Vesuvius. My foot held up well, apart from the odd twinge or two. And seeing Vesuvius up close like that makes my legs tingle 😄. So I'll tackle it tomorrow. I got a ticket online (they're only available online and there's a limited number

The hike started off well. A steep climb directly from my accommodation in Arienzo up to the ruins of the Castello di Arienzo. A fantastic view was included, of course. Then on through the hills in the best sunny weather again. Suddenly, I felt pain in my right foot (something on the outside of the back

Today was a hiking day in thunderstorms and downpours. With a rain kilt, gaiters, and umbrella, I made it through, even though it poured with rain at times 😄
I started out hiking up the hills – to the right, there was a fantastic (hazy today) view of the valley and all the way to Vesuvius (which I also

Today's hiking day was all about visiting the Royal Palace (residence of the Bourbons) and the park behind it in Caserta, which I reached after a hike through exclusively built-up areas (here the cities merge almost seamlessly) and a long stretch along the Via Appia.
What a gigantic structure! And the

After leaving Bellona, the trail continued along a beautiful path to the Triflisco spring, which flows into a small pool, creating a small water oasis in the otherwise arid surroundings. It's also somewhat touristy – with a walkway over the water to a restaurant/café and a few bars nearby – and there

It rained heavily during the night, which made the air a bit clearer. In Teano, there was a small market on the piazza, and I then hiked past the Roman Theater on my way out of town. Right at the beginning, the path (actually a marked hiking trail) I wanted to take along the Savone River was nonexistent

Today was a great route, with very little asphalt and lots of forest on a good hiking surface. However, the humidity in the forest was 100% – warm and damp, my smartphone lens fogged up immediately, and I had nothing dry to wipe it off. Although the forecast was for continuous rain today, there were

Immediately after setting off, we headed to the Archaeological Park of Minturnae. There are the ruins of the ancient Roman city, which also includes a well-preserved Roman theater. In the arcades of the theater, there's a small museum, the Antiquarium, where the special finds are still on display. The

Starting in Formia (Gianola), after a short section on the busy Via Appia (nuova), I descended to the beach promenade. Then I briefly left the Via Francigena to make a detour to the archaeological excavations (of Mamurra, knights of Julius Caesar's life). It was less accessible than I expected, but this

As I wrote yesterday, today's descent to Positano over the "steep wall" (from the top to the sea, it's about 700 meters in elevation!) is also the finale of my tour this year.
