Today, another nice final round in Maratea. First, I tried out the secret direct footpath from the accommodation to the train station, which I can use well tomorrow morning. Then up to the old town of Maratea, where a very friendly, free-roaming dog accompanied me the whole time on this section of the

Today I hiked from Rivello to Maratea, the pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Along the way, I took a short lunch break in Trecchina – I had very delicious arancini, which have almost become my staple food on this holiday.
Maratea is primarily known for its imposing statue of Christ the Redeemer (Cristo Redentore

Today, we set off from Sapri on a long, steady climb inland - towards Rivello. The village has recently been included in the list of Borghi più belli d'Italia (the most beautiful villages in Italy). And when you see how picture-perfect the village houses are draped on the hill, you can understand why

Today straight to the sea in Sapri. The sun was really burning - my hiking outfit needs a complete wash again...
A welcome break with cold drinks was had in Vibonati. Afterwards, another steep climb, which I couldn't manage in one go in the heat and had to take several breaks.
On the descent to Sapri

Today an absolute dream hike. It went from Caselle in Pittari first up to the Sentiero San Michele, which leads to the Santuario San Michele. The ascent was drawn-out, but in itself a great hike on a well-developed, stony-rocky trail. At 570m you were practically at the top and there was also a kind

Today I chose a lower, safer alternative route due to the predicted thunderstorm. The thunderstorm did come, but I only got a downpour from it. The lightning struck in the surrounding hills/mountains - far from me. I waited out the rain crouching on a stone wall with an umbrella - after 45 minutes, the

Today a very short stage, but still with surprisingly many meters of elevation gain. Although the hiking trail is extremely poorly signposted and I always have the fear that it will soon become impassable again, it has safely led me to the neighboring town. In one place, steps were even built into the

Today I continued through the fantastic landscape of Cilento. After setting off from Vallo della Lucania, I first headed for the small village of Ceraso. To do this, I first had to overcome a small hill, as Ceraso is located in a neighboring valley. An open bar came in handy for a little break.
Then

Today I wanted to hike from Stio up the CAI 173 trail to 900m and then along the ridge towards the south. I got up to 860m and then had to turn back because the path was so overgrown with blackberry bushes that there was no way through, no matter how hard I tried. I tried for a while, but got many bloody

Today a fantastic gorge hike through the Gole del Calore. Calore is the name of the small river that has formed the impressive gorge. A very well-maintained path, which was also very easy to hike apart from a few fallen trees and a few steep ascents at the end. I had a lot of fun.
At the end of the gorge

Today, on a short hike, we passed by some vineyards and olive groves, practically to a village further down, Felitto. The weather today was characterized by extreme heat and was very hazy - cloudless, but the sun shone as if through a large "heat haze bell".
Felitto is picturesquely built on a hill and

A great hike from Capaccio up to Monte Vesole at 1210m altitude and then back down into the bustling Roccadaspide - my overnight location today.
The view from Monte Vesole is truly fantastic. Besides, it's much more pleasant temperature-wise up there than in the valley. Tomorrow it will be 35° again in

So, I have arrived in Cilento. More precisely in Capaccio, the northwestern "gate" to the National Park.
I enjoyed the hike today - from Vuccolo Maiorano there were real hiking trails again for a change 😊
From there, it first went up to the Santuario Madonna del Granato, where it was good to take a break

This year's hike is slowly developing into a complete disaster.
It already started with the fact that today, due to the lingering effects of the stomach bug, I decided on a short hike with practically no inclines. How best to do that? You walk part of the route along the country road. Only the first 10km

Before heading back home tomorrow, I had time for another tour of Milan today.
Included were Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the Duomo (of course), Chiesa di San Bernardino alle Ossa, the main building of the University of Milan, the "Colonne" in the square in front of the Basilica di San Lorenzo Maggiore
