Wine Tasting in Montalcino

We start in pouring rain in Bellinzona. Today is the day of technology. Jürgen's SIM is locked, my Mac can't receive a hotspot (so I can't respond to emails - this makes me...

2.7.2024 Carrara I had booked a trip to Florence and Pisa. We gathered at 8:00 am and left the ship. After a good 1 1/2 hours we reached Florence. Now the strenuous part began....

Well, bye everyone! Hello to those who stayed at home and anyone else who is interested. In anticipation of this year's vacation, I will first chronologically pull up the old...

Six and a half hours of hiking, uphill and downhill, which I completed without any problems. (Who would have thought that four days ago.) Over the Monte Foresto to Caprese...

Today I will drive around the snow-covered Poggio della Cesta (1113 metres high) and wait for the bus that will take me to Frassineta at 6.30 am. Why did I take the gloves out...

My first tour on the Way of St. Francis, with the destination Pontassieve, begins in Florence and already looks promising in the first four kilometers: I walk south of the old...

On the third attempt I finally managed to see the Duomo (after a first attempt in 1999 and a second attempt on Thursday). The interior of the cathedral was fascinating due to...

If you feel overwhelmed by a situation, you need to take some distance. Translated to a crowded old town with thousands of tourists, this means that you have to "walk free". The...

On the beaten paths, on the beaten path, this is the motto of a trip to Florence. Rolling suitcases, the sound of the street. Crowds of people from all over the world, a mecca...

The night in the monastery was not so restful. It was probably not because of the dormitory, which was completely silent, but both Nobby and I slept extremely badly. But the...

It was clear from the start that we couldn't walk the route we had planned as it was - it was too long and there were too many meters of elevation. So we quickly changed our...

The start of the St. Francis Way had all the positive impressions for us. First of all, wonderful weather, then a relaxed start up the Arno until we went into the mountains....

The journey was rather unspectacular, it was almost impossible to sleep, but it was pretty quiet and so I think we overslept a few waypoints, not the rare stops, but Munich and...

Stage 5 - Elba

Stage 4 - Pisa and Florence

On the second day of my trip to Tuscany, we took a closer look at Siena. Konrad is currently doing his Erasmus year and I was kindly allowed to sleep with him in the shared...

Montepulciano and Pienza

Around the island

Tomorrow morning I'm hitting the road: leaving the bustling city before Pentecost, following in the footsteps of San Francesco, who felt so connected to nature and all beings as...

Florence

After a good night's sleep, I set off on my walk through Florence. First, a cappuccino and croissant at the cafe around the corner. Today, I tried to go where it seemed...

The farewell party was really great. Sonja, Maja, Finn and Steffen made me very happy. Thank you very much. Also to everyone who called me to wish me a good time. I hardly slept...

Farewell to San Gimignano, off to Montepulciano. Picked up my cute little Fiat in Siena - with it, I can go to all corners of Italy ☺️👍and then hit the road. First stop in...

So today in San Gimignano— a reunion with a beloved city! A year ago I was here— nothing has changed, even in the large hall next to the church the three chairs are still there...
