Start:  Brenner, Italy Finish:  Innsbruck, Austria Distance:  23 Total:  1162 Today was a milestone day in several respects. First, today marked the halfway point based on walking days for this walk across Europe. Likewise, I have reached the halfway point in miles as well. And finally, immediately upon beginning today’s walk in Brenner, Italy, I … Continue reading »

Start:  Mittewald Finish:  Brenner Distance:  22 Total:  1139 What a day, WHAT A DAY!  I don’t even know where to start. First, I’m not in Italy where I was suppose to be tonight.  I’m actually in Innsbruck, Austria where I’m suppose to be Friday night. I’ll explain that later, but first about last night.  I … Continue reading »

Start:  Klausen Finish:  Mittewald Distance:  17 Total:  1117 Today’s walk took me further into the Dolomites which required a bit of climbing and a lot of detouring on and off Hwy 12 and the bike path.  I got started around 7:45 again today with plans of getting the day behind me before thunderstorms hit later … Continue reading »

Start:  Cariano Finish:  Klausen Distance:  16 Total:  1100 Had another great day walking on the bike trail, even though it was somewhat uphill. Nonetheless, the 16 miles went by fairly quickly.  I got on the road this morning a little earlier than normal in hopes of beating the afternoon thunderstorms. There is an 80% chance … Continue reading »

Start:  Egna Neumarkt Finish:  Cardano Distance:  17 Total:  1084 Today was a productive, uneventful 17 mile walk through the countryside and around the city of Bolzano.  After a good night’s rest and an even better breakfast in the old city hall in Egna, I got on the road at 8:15 this morning. The humidity was … Continue reading »

From:  Lavis To:  Egna Neumarkt Miles:  16 Total:  1067 Another great day walking through the Adige River Valley. Most of the day was spent walking along the bike trail.  It appears bike riding is especially popular on Saturday mornings as the trail was very busy.  I had a great night of sleep at the Sartori’s … Continue reading »

Start:  Rovereto Finish:  Lavis Distance:  19 Total:  1051 Today was an easy walk, if 19 miles can be easy in 94 degree heat. That’s unusually hot for this part of Italy. The average high is 80 for this date so I guess I’m just lucky.  I saw on the forecast it was going to be … Continue reading »

Start:  Borghetto Finish:  Rovereto Distance:  19 Total:  1032 Today was a very straight forward 19 mile walk down Hwy 12 through more vineyard country. It was in the 60s early this morning but heated up to mid-80s by the end of my walk.  The day got started when I woke up at 6:00, after planning … Continue reading »

Start:  Corrubbio Finish:  Borghetto Distance:  19 Total:  1013 Today was my first full day on the road walking since the 90 day break and it was good to get back in the swing of things. It was a good day overall with a little chaos thrown in at the end just so I don’t get … Continue reading »

Start:  Verona Train Station Finish:  Corrubbio Distance:  6 miles Total:  994 It’s back on the road again for Part 2 of the walk across Europe. Today was a very long day. But I’ve made it back to Northern Italy and have picked the walk back up where it ended in March.  The day started with … Continue reading »
