Day 3 Stia: lots of forest and wonderful scents

Today I'm wiser: I only use the hiking guide as bedtime reading and I ignore Google Maps. Since today I only trust GPS and it has worked well for me (or rather, I've walked). They say that most pilgrims set off from La Verna because the signage is so bad before that. I understand that.

Where nature rules

The peace and quiet of today was impressive. You don't see a single soul for many kilometers. The few houses often seem to be deserted. A power line is half pulled down by climbing plants. The many twisted and hollow tree trunks from which new shoots are forming are bizarre. If you have a passion for nature photography, this is the right place for you.

And always on the right path

If you don't want to keep looking at your phone screen, you'll always get lost. But with GPS you can find your way through even the thickest of thickets. So today I was at my accommodation at Christian time, which I had booked again yesterday (having since learned better).
