Hike Day 7: BOLSENA - ORVIETO

The old bridge where we ended our walk

Easy day today in terms of mileage but we still managed to get lost a couple times. Arriving in Orvieto, we take the van up to the city.


From the guides: Following the steps of the ancient population of Bolsena who in 1263 walked to Orvieto to hand the relic of the Eucharistic miracle to the Pope we walk a beautiful trail that connected the two towns since the Etruscan times. The easy and short walk gives us time to enjoy one of the most beautiful towns in central Italy, rich in art, history, cuisine, and wines
