Trail Reviews

Andrea Davanzo
March 13, 2024, Giro delle chiese tra Albugnano e Castelnuovo don bosco

Rather long but simple tour, except in the initial part of the woods near the Vezzolano Abbey, where the path goes up and down more than you would expect due to the altitude, still remaining quite simple. Nice itinerary with all the churches, Romanesque and otherwise, on the street; It's a shame to have found them all closed, especially the abbey. During the journey we met 2 or 3 dogs who "escorted" us along parts of the route, a detail to take into account if a person is afraid. The journey, done calmly, took about 4 hours.
