Tuscany - with body and soul
Our big trip in 2019 went to Tuscany, Germany's favorite Italy. We traveled under the motto "Tuscany - with body and soul". On the one hand we wanted to let the landscape, the flair and the deceleration have an effect on us and on the other hand we wanted to discover the culinary treasures of Tuscany; Chianti, Brunello, Nobile, salami, ham ... whatever Tuscany has to offer for the soul and the palate. But unlike in previous years, we didn't want to "tick off" sights, but rather travel according to the motto "The journey is the destination". We had made our travel planning with the help of a map of Tuscany, the ADAC Tourguide Tuscany and FREEONTOUR; the program also determined our preliminary selection of parking spaces (even if we decided differently in individual cases). I've never planned a tour faster or more comfortably. We would be very happy to receive your feedback in the comments or at info@nanuq-womoblog.de. Also follow us on Youtube: youtube.com/nanuqwomoblog. There you will (soon) find the videos of our trip.

Travelogue
Day 1
From here we start our tours, as well as our trip to Tuscany. Ready packed, everything filled and weighed as a precaution, we started in the evening south.
Frankfurter Landstraße 107, 63477, Maintal/Frankfurt am Main, Deutschland
From here we start our tours, as well as our trip to Tuscany. Ready packed, everything filled and weighed as a precaution, we started in the evening south.
Our first stage took us to Kreuzwertheim in the early evening. We decided on this rather short stage right after the working day so that we don't have to go through Frankfurt and the A3 in the morning rush hour. So we can drive off completely relaxed. Apart from that, we have another evening in front of a great backdrop, the illuminated Wertheim with its castle. A vacation can't start any better, right?

The second stage on the way to Tuscany. The Camper's Stop Füssen is practically close to the route to the south. We got the tip from Hartmut Conrad, another blogger. Even if it is not in an idyllic location, it is always practical. In the middle of the commercial area with Aldi, Lidl etc. in the immediate vicinity offer the opportunity to replenish supplies. If you have more time - it is a good starting point for excursions in the area.

Day 3
Since we had decided not to drive over the Brenner as usual, but over the Fernpass and the Reschenpass, our plans have changed a bit. Even if the drive over the two pass roads is quite problem-free for a motorhome thanks to the slight incline or slope, we did not make it to Lake Garda in one stage. That wouldn't have changed if we hadn't taken the long break at Lake Reschen (the parking lot costs € 1/60 minutes). Then we would have missed something.
We decided on a parking space near Merano, the Schneeburghof parking space in Tirolo. A large space for approx. 50 mobiles, with a restaurant, toilet, showers, WLAN, V / E and electricity. And, you can comfortably walk downhill to Merano in 30 minutes.
On the last evening we did the sample in the restaurant and loved it. Real Wiener Schnitzel - hot, tender, juicy and the breading crispy until the end. And for dessert an apple strudel with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream - but we shared it.
Oh yes: the Schneeburghof also grows its own wine. And we can really recommend that too.

Day 4
Meran - spa town in South Tyrol. Elisabeth (Sissi), Empress of Austria, stayed here several times. Small, quite manageable (at least the old town) but really nice and worth seeing. The Schneeburghof parking space is ideal for a visit. You can walk downhill from the parking space in about 30 minutes, sometimes over the Tappeiner Promenade. If you are still looking at the herb garden and the powder tower , one of the sights on the way, you will of course need a little longer to get to the Church of St. Nicholas and the Barbara Chapel , right in the old town. We left the Tappeiner Promenade on the Tiroler Steig and went straight to the old town. From St. Nikolaus you can also get directly to Laubengasse , a medieval street lined with houses with arcades to the right and left. In the arcades you can find restaurants, clothing chains, shoe shops, almost all of them with modern shop windows that don't really fit in with the old houses. But also corridors, stairwells, backyards ... Today mostly the gardens of restaurants or wine bars.
Seen from St. Nikolaus, at the back you can go to the right to the cable car , which brings you back up the mountain comfortably and to the left to the tourist information office, to the Kurhaus and on the river to the Kurpromenade . If you stroll to the left past the Kurhaus, you will come to the city gate and, on the other bank of the river, to the Heilig Geist Church , a former hospital.
There is certainly a lot more to see in Merano - it should be enough for us. But, since we want to visit South Tyrol as our own travel destination, there is still an opportunity.

Day 6
Nach unserer ungeplanten Pause auf dem Schneeburghof in Tirol geht es nun weiter in Richtung Süden und zwar an den Gardasee. Der Stellplatz liegt direkt am See, nur getrennt durch eine Liegewiese und durch den Uferweg (Fahrräder und Fußgänger). Vom Stellplatz aus ist man mit dem Fahrrad in ca. 20 Minuten direkt an der Scaligerburg in Sirmione. Besonders für Kinder ist der Gardasee am Stellplatz geeignet, denn es bleibt lange flach.
Gerade im Sommer sollder Platz recht voll sein, so dass man hier besser reserviert.

Day 7
Unseren Kurzaufenthalt haben wir dazu genutzt, uns Sirmione anzuschauen.
Sirmione ist eine durch und durch vom Tourismus geprägte Stadt. Dennoch hat sie ihren eigenen Charme. Wir haben uns für den Stadtrundgang auf die Altstadt beschränkt. Die Fahrräder haben wir unterhalb der Burg am Hafen angeschlossen; sie mit in die Altstadt zu nehmen ist verboten und es wird streng kontrolliert.
Hinter der Burg eröffnen sich die alten Gassen, geprägt von Souvenirgeschäften, Restaurants und Eisdielen. Das Eis, das wir hatten, war hervorragend; 2 "Kugeln" für 4 Euro. Bei uns zu Hause hätte man da 4 Kugeln draus gemacht. Damit war der Preis ok.
Nach unserem Rundgang haben wir uns noch eine kleine Erfrischung in der Bar des Hotels Meridiana in der Via Caio Valerio Catullo gegönnt. Dort gibt es ein super Craft Weizenbier, Knabbereien sind im Preis inbegriffen.

In the courtyard there is a 47 meter high tower and three corner towers. The battlements and loopholes give a good idea of how to defend a castle. The tower was used as an armory in the Middle Ages and was the main military facility. Today you can climb the tower and enjoy a wonderful view of Lake Garda and the city of Sirmione from above. Above all, however, the castle served to protect the city of Sirmione against enemies. The curtain wall plays an important role, because it completely separates Sirmione from the mainland. Access to the city is only possible via a drawbridge. The castle still dominates the image of the town of Sirmione today.
The Scaliger Castle, Rocca Scaligera , was started in the 13th century and hermetically shielded the headland with the old town of Sirmione. Access could be effectively prevented by several heavy drawbridges and the castle also had its own harbor protected by thick walls. In 1405, however, Sirmione fell to Venice, which is also reminiscent of the Venetian lion above the entrance portal. The castle remained in Venetian ownership until the end of the Austrian monarchy and then became the municipal property of Sirmione. In the courtyard there is a 47 meter high tower that was used as an armory in the Middle Ages. Today you can climb the tower and enjoy a wonderful view of Lake Garda and the city of Sirmione from above.
The Catullus Caves (you can buy a combined ticket) were unfortunately closed on the day of our visit, so we had to be satisfied with an aerial photo.

Day 8
Chiao Lago di Garda, buona sera Firenze. Heute sind wir am Nachmittag in Florenz angekommen und wieder auf dem Stellplatz gelandet, auf dem wir bereits vor 2 Jahren gestanden haben. Nicht der beste Platz, aber zentral gelegen, nachts trotz Innenstadt nicht allzu laut. Außerdem mangelt es etwas an brauchbaren Alternativen. Wer außerhalb stehen möchte und auf sein Glück vertraut, der kann hier mit dem Womo auch stundenweise stehen. Die Tagesgebühr für 24 Stunden beträgt 15 Euro. Die Buslinie 11 fährt direkt vor dem Platz ab. Außerdem gibt es V/E, im Preis enthalten. Bei der Anfahrt an den Stellplatz vorsichtig sein, sonst ist man ganz schnell an der Einfahrt vorbei!
In die Altstadt von Florenz könnt ihr entweder laufen: am Stellplatz die Via Gelsomino hoch. An der Kreuzung links in die Viale del Poggio Imperiale. Der folgt ihr bis zur Porta Romana, wo ihr im Kreisverkehr halb links in die Via Romana abbiegt, die euch direkt zum Ponte Vecchio führt. Dauer ca. 30 Minuten). Oder ihr nehmt den Bus Linie 11, der direkt vor dem Stellplatz abfährt (gleiche Straßenseite). Tickets gibt's in Tabakgeschäften (1,50 einfache Fahrt) oder beim Fahrer (2,50). Ausstieg ist an der Station Frescobaldo, das ist die 5. Station. Achtung: zurück geht der Bus an der Ecke Lungarno Soderini/Ponte alla Carraia, das ist die 2. Brücke nach dem Ponte Vecchio und eine Brücke nach der, an der man ankommt. Die Station am Stellplatz heißt dann Gelsomino 1 und es sind mehr als 5 Stationen.
Florenz ist nicht nur eine große Stadt, wobei man die Altstadt bequem zu Fuß "erlaufen" kann, sie hat auch extrem viel zu bieten. Plazzi, Museen, Piazzas - so viel, dass man bestimmt mindestens Woche braucht, um alles zu sehen. Wir müssen uns leider auf das Wesentliche beschränken.

After arriving at the bus station, we are first across the bridge there. After the first orientation problems we found the Palazzo Strozzi. An art museum with free entry to the imposing inner courtyard. This is really very beautiful, unfortunately an installation of modern art (hammocks with rattles) has a negative impact on the overall architectural impression.
What is special about Palazzo Strozzi is the history of its origins. Strozzi wanted to build a magnificent palace, but feared the wrath of the Medici. So he spread the word that his family was planning to set up a small, modest branch in Florence. Thereupon he was clearly ordered by the Medici to kindly build a residence that would be worthy of the prestige of Florence and that of his family. Strozzi didn't have to be told that twice ...

The Palazzo Davanzati, which is very close to the Palazzo Strozzi, has changed hands several times in the course of its history, was barely the victim of a demolition as part of town planning at the beginning of the 20th century, rebuilt several times but is now in its old splendor.
The 14th century palazzo depicts the upscale life of the upper Florentine population in the 14th to 16th centuries. Elaborate frescoes that decorate the individual rooms, water on every floor, toilets and bathrooms also on every floor testify to the high standard of living of the owners.
For us, the Palazzo Davanzati is the most beautiful building after the Palazzo Vecchio and is definitely worth a visit.

The Palazzo Davanzati, which is very close to the Palazzo Strozzi, has changed hands several times in the course of its history, was barely the victim of a demolition as part of town planning at the beginning of the 20th century, rebuilt several times but is now in its old splendor.
The 14th century palazzo depicts the upscale life of the upper Florentine population in the 14th to 16th centuries. Elaborate frescoes that decorate the individual rooms, water on every floor, toilets and bathrooms also on every floor testify to the high standard of living of the owners.
For us, the Palazzo Davanzati is the most beautiful building after the Palazzo Vecchio and is definitely worth a visit.

The "New Market" was originally built for traders in gold, silk and other luxury goods. Originally it was just a market square, but in the 16th century it got its portico. Today it is a market for leather items of all kinds, definitely interesting to look at.
The bronze wild boar from the 17th century is said to bring luck if you rub its trunk. You can help the whole thing with a coin that you put in the wild boar's mouth, provided that it disappears in the process after letting go.

The Florentine Cathedral is one of the most impressive buildings we have seen. The size and facade are absolutely magnificent, the marble-clad cathedral literally shines in the midday sun. And it is of a size that makes it almost impossible to get it in full glory and with all parts (cathedral with dome, baptistery and bell tower) in the picture.
As with the main museums of Florence, the Uffizi Gallery and the Academy, you have to order tickets in advance. Well in advance. Otherwise what happened to us happens: the dome (two mutually supporting dome shells span 41 m room diameter) was already fully booked for the next few days, the baptistery was only available much later that day and the bell tower (85 meters, 414 steps) cannot be booked separately.
And what you need for the cathedral, which you can enter without a ticket, is patience. Eternal queuing in the scorching sun is the order of the day. In our opinion, the cathedral itself is a bit plain.
The oldest part of the entire complex is, by the way, the octagonal Battisterio San Giovanni, the baptistery from the 11th / 12th. Century. The highlight are the gold-plated bronze doors. As with many outdoor works of art, these are copies. The originals are in the cathedral museum.
The Museo dell'Opera del Duome, the museum of the Dombauhütte shows works of art from the cathedral and the baptistery.
So: good planning and order at least a week in advance!

Orsanmichele - The church doesn't look like a church at all. But that's no wonder, because it was built in 1337 as a grain market. A picture of Mary displayed here turned out to be miraculous, so that the hall quickly became a church in 1380. The arcades were bricked up and Gothic windows were built in the upper part. The guilds set up their patron saints in the niches on the outer wall; the originals can be seen on Mondays in the museum on the upper floor.
Entry to the church is free.

The Piazza della Signoria, named after the Signoria, the republican government of the city of Florence, is the most important square in the city. Not only does the Palazzo Vecchio stand on it, but also a number of famous sculptures, such as Michelangelo's David (the original is in the Accademia), Hercules and Cacus by Bandinelli or the equestrian statue of Cosimo I de Medici . In the square is also the Loggia di Lanzi , an arcade hall in which the receptions of the city of Florence were previously held and which is also populated with statues.

The palace, the construction of which began together with the cathedral in 1299, was supposed to be the seat of the city council and so its original name was also Palazzo della Signoria. After the Medici came to power, they had the palace lavishly furnished from the middle of the 16th century. The building became the Palazzo Vecchio, the "Old Palace", after the Medici had built their Palazzo Pitti on the other side of the Arno.
The Palazzo Vecchio is a must see when in Florence. Wall and ceiling paintings, sculptures, the private apartments - it's all just worth seeing.

The Ponte Vecchio, the "old bridge" was built in 1345 and already then built on both sides with rows of shops. Butchers, tanners and fishmongers had their headquarters here. A corridor was laid out above it for the Medici so that they could get from their new palace, the Palazzo Pitti , to the other side of the administration building.
However, the Medici "stank" in the truest sense of the word when they had to cross the Ponte Vecchio. So they decided without further ado that only goldsmiths were allowed to operate their trade on the bridge. And that's still the case today.
Incidentally, the Ponte Vecchio has also made it to the cinema: In the film Parfum by Süskind, the Ponte Vecchio is the model for the Seine bridge, on which the perfumer Baldini lives.

If you want to see the works of Titian, Raffael, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Dürer ... you should book early. At least 3-4 days in advance on the Internet and on the official website of the Florentine Museums. Or you have a few hours to queue up for a ticket.
But a visit is worthwhile, the works and the sheer amount of works of art is absolutely overwhelming, even if at some point we felt a bit overwhelmed.

Day 10
Den Tipp, nach Greve zu fahren, haben wir von Ilona, auch Nutzerin von FREEONTOUR, bekommen. Da wir ohnehin ins Chianti wollten, sind wir dem Tipp gefolgt und es hat sich definitiv gelohnt. Greve verfügt sogar über einen eigenen Stellplatz in der Nähe der Innenstadt, so dass man bequem in 13 Minuten rein laufen kann. Der Stellplatz ist kostenlos mit V/E aber ohne Strom. Er liegt direkt neben dem Schwimmbad, so dass es tagsüber nicht ganz leise ist, was uns aber nicht gestört hat.
Greve selber hat zwar eine kleine Altstadt, aber diese ist schön verträumt mit ihren Ladengalerien, Geschäftchen, Restaurants. Die Piazza Matteotti ist von Arkaden und mehreren Palazzi gesäumt und hier finden viele Märkte statt. Der Platz war während des Mittelalters der Marktplatz des Castello Montefioralle, einer Burg, die heute noch den Ort überragt. Auf der Piazza Matteotti befindet sich die Statue des Giovanni da Verrazzano. Dieser berühmte Forschungsreisende entdeckte einst die Bucht von New York.
Etwas ganz besonderes ist auch ein Besuch in der "Macelleria Falorni". Ein Geschäft, in dem der Himmel voller Schinken hängt. Und Salami in allen Variationen. Verschiedene Käsesorten und Weine. Auch zum probieren in der eigenen Weinbank. Und einen Bereich, wo man gemütlich schlemmen kann... Der Himmel auf Erden.

Es ist für uns, die wir aus einer Großstadt kommen, immer wieder erstaunlich zu sehen, dass in anderen Ländern wie Italien und Frankreich Märkte noch immer eine wichtige Einkaufsmöglichkeit darstellt. Kleidung, Haushaltsgegenstände aber auch natürlich Gemüse, Obst, Fisch und Fleisch. Das alles zu sehen, das bunte Treiben, die Gerüche und Farben, das geschäftige Gewusel der Menschen - das macht für uns die Faszination von Märkten aus. Und natürlich finden wir auch immer etwas zum Probieren und mitnehmen. Richtig lecker waren die Brötchen mit gegrilltem Wildschwein

If you are in Greve, visit the tourist information. There is interesting information there, for example a hiking tour to Montefioralle and, if you have the time and inclination and the heat doesn't slow you down, back to Greve in a wide arc. The special thing about the tour is that you pass various points where artists present their works.
Because of the intense heat, however, we only made it to Montefioralle and then went back almost the same way.
Montefioralle itself can be reached on foot in around 20 minutes. It is one of the oldest villages in the Chianti region and was one of the largest military fortresses in the region during the Middle Ages. Even today, Montefioralle is surrounded by the original walls, two octagonal fortress walls with four city gates. On a walk you can admire the pretty houses built on arches and the many passageways.

South of Greve, Chianti is only just beginning to get really beautiful (according to the lady from the tourist information office). And in this particularly beautiful part is Castellina in Chianti, one of the typical places of Chianti and Tuscany. And the place is really beautiful, has charm, away from the "normal" tourist destinations. Here, as in the other villages and towns in Tuscany, you can still experience Italy, literally feel it.
Our city tour led us first to the church of San Salvatore from the 16th century. It houses valuable art treasures, such as the Madonna fresco by di Lorenzo from the 14th century. We continued through the alleys to the 15th century Fortezza , which is also home to the Archaeological Museum. The small collection shows art of the Etruscans and is worth a visit, especially since you can only get to the tower through the museum, from which you have a fantastic view of the city and the surrounding landscape.
Back again, first a short break in the delicatessen store " la bottega del borgo food and wine ". The not so up-to-date plastic tableware may cause ecological remorse, but it will quickly make you forget the food and the wine. The pickled cherry peppers with tuna paste are awesome. We then took some of them with us.
After refreshment, we continue to our penultimate highlight, the accessible part of the tunnel that used to surround the city. Here you will find craft shops and restaurants.
Oh yes, there is the ubiquitous black rooster that you come across all over Chianti. It is not only the logo of the Chianti Classico Consortium founded in 1924, but there is also a story behind it. In order to end the endless conflict between Florence and Siena, both cities decided in the 13th century that two knights should set out at the first crowing of the cock and ride towards the opposing city. The meeting point should be the new frontier. The Sienese spoiled their white cock so that it should crow loudly. In contrast, the Florentines chose a black rooster that they barely fed, so that on the crucial morning it crowed hungry long before sunrise. So the rider from Florence was able to set out very early and he managed to get to the gates of Siena ...
The Castellina parking space is located on a parking lot that is a bit noisy during the day due to traffic, especially motorbikes, and is also designed for cars and buses. It costs 12 euros including electricity. V / E, water costs extra and you are in the middle of the city in about 10 minutes.

La Vialla not only offers motorhome parking spaces (registration requested through the office), which are free but without service. There is a pick-up / delivery service with golf carts, a museum (an experience), a small restaurant, enjoy the tranquility of the courtyard, guided tours, wine tastings ... A visit there is slowing down in itself. Oh yes, almost every employee speaks German.
The specialty of La Vialla, however, is the fact that two brothers took over and restored a completely dilapidated farm in 1978, and at that time they were already fully committed to organic farming (today, biodynamic according to Demeter). We then went to the markets in Munich in a small delivery van. You can see that as an organic farm you can be extremely successful, provided you have courage, perseverance and a good concept. However, a good dose of luck is also part of it.

Der Stellplatz liegt auf einem großen Parkplatz und bietet keinen Service. Allerdings ist er tagsüber gebührenpflichtig (z. Zt. 5 €/6 Std.); zu beachten ist aber, dass die Zeiträume fest von 8:00 Uhr bis 14:00 Uhr und von 14:00 Uhr bis 20:00 Uhr gehen. Von 20:00 Uhr bis 8:00 Uhr ist der Platz kostenlos. Dumm halt, wenn man um 11:00 Uhr ankommt...
Auch wenn es sich um einen Großparkplatz handelt, so haben wir doch recht ruhig dort gestanden. Und das er von den Teilnehmern der verschiedenen Feste zum trainieren genutzt wird finden wir eher interessant als störend. Egal ob Fassroller, Fahnenschwinger oder Trommler.
Vom Parkplatz aus ist man mit zwei kostenlosen Aufzügen auch schnell und bequem am Fuß der Stadt. Von da allerdings geht's (bis zum Rückweg) nur noch bergauf.

Montepulciano is one of the typical cities of Tuscany. Fortified, located on a mountain and full of history: old churches, palazzi and of course a castle. But Montepulciano has something else - the Nobile di Montepulciano. Already by the cellar master of Pope Paul III. Praised as an excellent wine in the 16th century, it became famous at all European courts. The maturation must be at least 2 years, one of them in wooden barrels. So anyone who buys a 2017 Nobile in 2019 has been tricked, because the wine harvested in 2017 may only be officially sold from January 2020. However, it can still be stored for a few years.
Anyone who is next to the churches and the various wineries (the Cantine del Palazzo Contucci is said to be a special one) invites the Fortezza to pay a visit. There is not only a very interesting exhibition about Leonardo da Vinci but also the wine bank of the cooperative. If you only try their wines in the sales rooms of individual winemakers, you can taste the different wines of different winemakers here in the wine bank in an interesting setting (glass floor above the excavations of cisterns).

Day 15
Monticchiello is a small dreamy town, just as typical of Tuscany as Montepulciano. Even if it is small, the villages were mostly fortified, with strong walls and defensive towers. So also this little place. We got there early that morning, so one of the few sights, the church, was still closed. My attempt to open the door was watched with great interest by a cat who obviously also wanted to go into the cool church. In the tourist office you can learn a little about the place. So z. For example, that the citizens of the 13th century were tired of the persistent mismanagement of the Crusaders, who got the castle as a fief for their services and joined the Republic of Siena. From then on, the castle, or rather the place, experienced a heyday that lasted until the middle of the 16th century. During this time, after a heavy siege, it fell to Florence.

Pienza is definitely worth a stop and even the way from the south shows Tuscany like from a picture book. If you follow the signs for the parking spaces in Pienza, you come to a motorhome parking space for 4 mobiles, which unfortunately can also be used by cars. So you need a bit of luck.

Der Stellplatz, in einem "Vorort" von Montalcino, hat eine etwas steile Anfahrt und bei der Zufahrt von der Straße zum Stellplatz muss man aufpassen, nicht aufzusetzen. Die Stellplätze sind gepflastert und ausreichend groß, dass man Tisch und Stühle rausstellen kann. Es gibt V/E aber keinen Strom. Die Parkgebühr ist auch hier für Zeitintervalle zu entrichten, bezahlt man aber den Maximalbetrag (2 Intervalle), so erhält man einen Parkschein für 24 Stunden, anders als in Montepulciano.
Leider wird der Stellplatz auch zunehmend von Anwohnern als Parkplatz oder Abstellplatz für's eigene Womo benutzt. Aber da nicht wirklich viel los war ist das nicht weiter schlimm.

Day 16
The city of Montalcino, which dates back to an Etruscan foundation, is best known for its Brunello di Montalcine, one of the best red wines in the world. One of the few Italian red wines that can be made from pure Sangiovese, can be stored for 10 to 30 years depending on the vintage (if you have the patience and a suitable storage room). The wine must be stored for at least 4 years, at least 2 of them in wooden barrels.
But Montalcino has more to offer. On the one hand there is the diocesan museum in the former Augistine monastery. Or the cathedral. Or the Piazza Garibaldi and the Piazza del Popolo, where the tourist information is also located. And of course there are plenty of wine shops here too. However, we prefer the enoteca in the castle, the Fortezza.

Here you can have a good time. Well, the Enoteca la Fortezza is not cheap. But really good. And the wines that you get for the wine tasting are all really good. Sitting in the shade, watching the hustle and bustle across the courtyard and enjoying the good of Tuscany - that's how it can be endured.
And if you decide to take one or the other case of wine with you (as I said - these are really great wines, so they are not cheap), you can have them delivered free of charge within Europe. After all, shipping costs around € 40 elsewhere.
Strengthened it then goes through the enoteca on the defensive wall of the castle and the tower. The effort is rewarded with a wonderful view of Montalcino and the surrounding area.

The history of this abbey, which was founded in the 13th century but was abandoned in the 16th century, goes back to a legend about Saint Galgano. This, a young knight, led a target-me nefarious and depraved life until he had an apparition of the Archangel Michael, who asked him to change his life. He replied that it was easier to share a stone with your sword than to change your life. As proof he struck the rock whereupon his sword slipped through like butter and got stuck there. This place became a place of pilgrimage and Cistercian monks settled here. After two plague epidemics and constant attacks by rioters, the monks moved to Siena in the 16th century.
The Arthurian legend is probably inspired and influenced by this legend.

Day 17
Monteriggioni is a castle that, as an outpost of Siena against Florence, unlike usual, was not conquered, but built from scratch. At times 100 people lived here. Monteriggioni is also on the Via Francigena, an old pilgrimage route that led from England to Rome to the tomb of Peter and on to Jerusalem. The journey from Canterbury to Rome took about 80-90 days if you arrived healthy.
Montiriggioni fell into disrepair over the centuries, but was again painstakingly restored and is now not only a popular tourist magnet, but also the backdrop for lavish medieval spectacles every year in July. We were told at the tourist information office (in the medieval museum) that the medieval festivals were well attended, but not overcrowded. Parking spaces and tickets are always available.
Oh yes, one more thing: Monteriggioni was never conquered and has withstood all attacks. But after only 3 days of siege it fell through a betrayal of the governor, who gave the keys to the Florentine troops for safe conduct.

The hot and humid weather has overturned our plans; we move to the north and make our way home a little earlier than planned. Siena, which we had already visited 2 years ago, as well as Lucca, as well as Pisa, whose visit was a long time ago, we have to save for another time. It's a shame, but it was just too hot.
Since we liked the Schneeburghof so much on the way there, we quickly decided to stop for a few more days on the way back. In fact there was always a little wind through the mountains, so that the weather was quite bearable.

Meran - a little stroll on Saturday is a must. However, this time we did not take the same route from the parking space as we did during the first visit. We turned a little earlier and crossed the Passer on the Steinernen Steg a little upstream. On the next bridge downstream we went back to the spa promenade, where there was a flea market. It's always amazing what people keep, sell, and buy. For us, however, there was nothing there ;-)
Through the city it was then very comfortably back towards the chairlift and the parking space.

Unser letzter Tag in Meran

While we're there ... We wanted to see if we could get to the Zenoburg. Since it is privately owned and inhabited, it can only be viewed on selected weekends and upon prior notification. But we wanted to have a nice view of the castle. So this time we followed the sign to Zenoburg and then a sign to a hotel / restaurant. That was a coincidence, but it was worth it. Although we could hardly see anything of the Zenoburg (that can only be done from the air), we found a wonderful park. Almost a bit of a jungle with lots of "natural" works of art. And a wild passer and a ravine. And that in Merano. Of course, we had to come across the Sissi way at some point. The walk was definitely worth it for us. Dreamlike.
The Reest was as usual - after a stroll through the city (some shops are also open on Sundays) back to the chairlift.
In the evening, this time we had dumplings for dinner - suuuper, after dark there was a really extraordinary spectacle, the Sacred Heart Fire. These go back to a long pre-Christian tradition and the summer solstice and have developed in Tyrol into the Sacred Heart Fires, which are lit on the 3rd Sunday after Pentecost. These Sacred Heart Fires, crosses and the letters "IHS" shine on all mountains. A fascinating sight and a nice farewell to Merano, Tyrol and Italy.

We are back in Germany. We only crossed Austria on Monday because the Fernpass and other federal and country roads are closed to tourists at the weekend. So we came back without any problems via Reschen and Fernpass.
As a station, we have chosen the parking space at Andechs Monastery. The facility, the monastery beer and the Braustüberl were tempting, the detour minimal.
The pitch costs € 17 with electricity, € 14 a night without; Included is a voucher for the Braustüberl for € 3.40, which is even valid for one year. IMPORTANT: Before you book and pay for your stay at the parking meter (coins and cards), think carefully about whether you need electricity. It can only be booked in conjunction with the parking space, not individually! Otherwise, the gravel parking space is nice, the demarcated plots are big enough and the way to the "Holy Mountain" is not far.

Incidentally, the Braustüberl closes at 8:00 p.m., as it is located in the monastery area, but the warm kitchen closes at 6:00 p.m. If you want to enjoy Wammerl, Haxen & Co., you should order them around noon or around 5:00 p.m. We were late so have to come back again!
Due to the predicted thunderstorms, which were obviously not on the weather list for Petrus, the brother Messner had not opened the church tower - so I have to use our little flying companion for the beautiful view of the monastery and the surrounding area.

Unfortunately, our vacation is coming to an irrevocable end. We let the last few days end on the Main, pack up, prepare our Nanuq for the coming, hopefully only short, rest period and still work a little on our travel report.
We stay three nights, then we go back home.

Day 19
Unser letzter Tag in Meran
Wenn wir schon mal da sind... Wir wollten mal schauen, ob man zur Zenoburg kommt. Man kann sie, da in Privatbesitz und bewohnt, nur an ausgewählten Wochenenden und nach vorheriger Anmeldung besichtigen. Aber einen schönen Blick auf die Burg wollten wir schon haben. Also sind wir diesmal dem Wegweiser Richtung Zenoburg gefolgt und dann einem Wegweiser zu einem Hotel/Restaurant. Das war Zufall, hat sich aber gelohnt. Wir haben zwar fast nichts von der Zenoburg sehen können (das geht wohl nur von der Luft aus), aber haben einen wunderschönen Park gefunden. Fast ein wenig ein Urwald mit vielen "natürlichen" Kunstwerken. Und eine wilde Passer und eine Klamm. Und das in Meran. Klar, dass wir dann auch irgendwann auf den Sissi-Weg stoßen mussten. Der Spaziergang hat sich aber für uns auf jeden Fall gelohnt. Traumhaft.
Der Reest war wie gewohnt - nach einem Bummel durch die Stadt (einige Geschäfte haben auch Sonntags geöffnet) zurück zum Sessellift.
Am Abend, diesmal hatten wir Knödel zum Abendessen - suuuper, gab es dann nach Einbruch der Dunkelheit ein wirklich außergewöhnliches Spektakel, die Herz-Jesu-Feuer. Diese gehen auf eine lange vorchristliche Tradition und die Sommersonnenwende zurück und haben sich in Tirol zu den Herz-Jesu-Feuern, die am 3. Sonntag nach Pfingsten entzündet werden entwickelt. Auf allen Bergen leuchten diese Herz-Jesu-Feuer, Kreuze und die Buchstaben "IHS". Ein faszinierender Anblick und ein schöner Abschied von Meran, Tirol und Italien.

Day 21
Besuch im Kloster Andechs
Gestern waren wir schon etwas zu spät, um noch das Kloster und in Ruhe das Braustüberl zu genißen, also haben wir um eine Nacht verlängert und uns heute alles angeschaut. Die Klosteranlage, die Kirche, das Braustüberl - alles das kann man sich bequem an einem Tag anschauen. Das Braustüberl schließt übrigens, da im Klosterbereich gelegen, um 20:00 Uhr, die warme Küche aber bereits um 18:00. Wer Wammerl, Haxen & Co. genießen möchte, sollte das dann so gegen Mittag oder eben so um 17:00 ordern. Wir waren zu spät und müssen daher noch einmal wiederkommen!
Auf Grund vorhergesagter Gewitter, die erkennbar nicht bei Petrus auf der Wetterliste standen, hatte der Bruder Messner allerdings den Kirchturm nicht geöffnet - für den schönen Blick auf Kloster und Umgebung musst ich also unseren kleinen fliegenden Begleiter bemühen.

From here we start our tours, as well as our trip to Tuscany. Ready packed, everything filled and weighed as a precaution, we started in the evening south.
Our first stage took us to Kreuzwertheim in the early evening. We decided on this rather short stage right after the working day so that we don't have to go through Frankfurt and the A3 in the morning rush hour. So we can drive off completely relaxed. Apart from that, we have another evening in front of a great backdrop, the illuminated Wertheim with its castle. A vacation can't start any better, right?

The second stage on the way to Tuscany. The Camper's Stop Füssen is practically close to the route to the south. We got the tip from Hartmut Conrad, another blogger. Even if it is not in an idyllic location, it is always practical. In the middle of the commercial area with Aldi, Lidl etc. in the immediate vicinity offer the opportunity to replenish supplies. If you have more time - it is a good starting point for excursions in the area.

Day 3
Since we had decided not to drive over the Brenner as usual, but over the Fernpass and the Reschenpass, our plans have changed a bit. Even if the drive over the two pass roads is quite problem-free for a motorhome thanks to the slight incline or slope, we did not make it to Lake Garda in one stage. That wouldn't have changed if we hadn't taken the long break at Lake Reschen (the parking lot costs € 1/60 minutes). Then we would have missed something.
We decided on a parking space near Merano, the Schneeburghof parking space in Tirolo. A large space for approx. 50 mobiles, with a restaurant, toilet, showers, WLAN, V / E and electricity. And, you can comfortably walk downhill to Merano in 30 minutes.
On the last evening we did the sample in the restaurant and loved it. Real Wiener Schnitzel - hot, tender, juicy and the breading crispy until the end. And for dessert an apple strudel with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream - but we shared it.
Oh yes: the Schneeburghof also grows its own wine. And we can really recommend that too.

Day 4
Meran - spa town in South Tyrol. Elisabeth (Sissi), Empress of Austria, stayed here several times. Small, quite manageable (at least the old town) but really nice and worth seeing. The Schneeburghof parking space is ideal for a visit. You can walk downhill from the parking space in about 30 minutes, sometimes over the Tappeiner Promenade. If you are still looking at the herb garden and the powder tower , one of the sights on the way, you will of course need a little longer to get to the Church of St. Nicholas and the Barbara Chapel , right in the old town. We left the Tappeiner Promenade on the Tiroler Steig and went straight to the old town. From St. Nikolaus you can also get directly to Laubengasse , a medieval street lined with houses with arcades to the right and left. In the arcades you can find restaurants, clothing chains, shoe shops, almost all of them with modern shop windows that don't really fit in with the old houses. But also corridors, stairwells, backyards ... Today mostly the gardens of restaurants or wine bars.
Seen from St. Nikolaus, at the back you can go to the right to the cable car , which brings you back up the mountain comfortably and to the left to the tourist information office, to the Kurhaus and on the river to the Kurpromenade . If you stroll to the left past the Kurhaus, you will come to the city gate and, on the other bank of the river, to the Heilig Geist Church , a former hospital.
There is certainly a lot more to see in Merano - it should be enough for us. But, since we want to visit South Tyrol as our own travel destination, there is still an opportunity.

Meran - spa town in South Tyrol. Elisabeth (Sissi), Empress of Austria, stayed here several times. Small, quite manageable (at least the old town) but really nice and worth seeing. The Schneeburghof parking space is ideal for a visit. You can walk downhill from the parking space in about 30 minutes, sometimes over the Tappeiner Promenade. If you are still looking at the herb garden and the powder tower , one of the sights on the way, you will of course need a little longer to get to the Church of St. Nicholas and the Barbara Chapel , right in the old town. We left the Tappeiner Promenade on the Tiroler Steig and went straight to the old town. From St. Nikolaus you can also get directly to Laubengasse , a medieval street lined with houses with arcades to the right and left. In the arcades you can find restaurants, clothing chains, shoe shops, almost all of them with modern shop windows that don't really fit in with the old houses. But also corridors, stairwells, backyards ... Today mostly the gardens of restaurants or wine bars.
Seen from St. Nikolaus, at the back you can go to the right to the cable car , which brings you back up the mountain comfortably and to the left to the tourist information office, to the Kurhaus and on the river to the Kurpromenade . If you stroll to the left past the Kurhaus, you will come to the city gate and, on the other bank of the river, to the Heilig Geist Church , a former hospital.

Day 6
Nach unserer ungeplanten Pause auf dem Schneeburghof in Tirol geht es nun weiter in Richtung Süden und zwar an den Gardasee. Der Stellplatz liegt direkt am See, nur getrennt durch eine Liegewiese und durch den Uferweg (Fahrräder und Fußgänger). Vom Stellplatz aus ist man mit dem Fahrrad in ca. 20 Minuten direkt an der Scaligerburg in Sirmione. Besonders für Kinder ist der Gardasee am Stellplatz geeignet, denn es bleibt lange flach.
Gerade im Sommer sollder Platz recht voll sein, so dass man hier besser reserviert.

Day 7
Unseren Kurzaufenthalt haben wir dazu genutzt, uns Sirmione anzuschauen.
Sirmione ist eine durch und durch vom Tourismus geprägte Stadt. Dennoch hat sie ihren eigenen Charme. Wir haben uns für den Stadtrundgang auf die Altstadt beschränkt. Die Fahrräder haben wir unterhalb der Burg am Hafen angeschlossen; sie mit in die Altstadt zu nehmen ist verboten und es wird streng kontrolliert.
Hinter der Burg eröffnen sich die alten Gassen, geprägt von Souvenirgeschäften, Restaurants und Eisdielen. Das Eis, das wir hatten, war hervorragend; 2 "Kugeln" für 4 Euro. Bei uns zu Hause hätte man da 4 Kugeln draus gemacht. Damit war der Preis ok.
Nach unserem Rundgang haben wir uns noch eine kleine Erfrischung in der Bar des Hotels Meridiana in der Via Caio Valerio Catullo gegönnt. Dort gibt es ein super Craft Weizenbier, Knabbereien sind im Preis inbegriffen.

In the courtyard there is a 47 meter high tower and three corner towers. The battlements and loopholes give a good idea of how to defend a castle. The tower was used as an armory in the Middle Ages and was the main military facility. Today you can climb the tower and enjoy a wonderful view of Lake Garda and the city of Sirmione from above. Above all, however, the castle served to protect the city of Sirmione against enemies. The curtain wall plays an important role, because it completely separates Sirmione from the mainland. Access to the city is only possible via a drawbridge. The castle still dominates the image of the town of Sirmione today.
The Scaliger Castle, Rocca Scaligera , was started in the 13th century and hermetically shielded the headland with the old town of Sirmione. Access could be effectively prevented by several heavy drawbridges and the castle also had its own harbor protected by thick walls. In 1405, however, Sirmione fell to Venice, which is also reminiscent of the Venetian lion above the entrance portal. The castle remained in Venetian ownership until the end of the Austrian monarchy and then became the municipal property of Sirmione. In the courtyard there is a 47 meter high tower that was used as an armory in the Middle Ages. Today you can climb the tower and enjoy a wonderful view of Lake Garda and the city of Sirmione from above.
The Catullus Caves (you can buy a combined ticket) were unfortunately closed on the day of our visit, so we had to be satisfied with an aerial photo.

Day 8
Chiao Lago di Garda, buona sera Firenze. Heute sind wir am Nachmittag in Florenz angekommen und wieder auf dem Stellplatz gelandet, auf dem wir bereits vor 2 Jahren gestanden haben. Nicht der beste Platz, aber zentral gelegen, nachts trotz Innenstadt nicht allzu laut. Außerdem mangelt es etwas an brauchbaren Alternativen. Wer außerhalb stehen möchte und auf sein Glück vertraut, der kann hier mit dem Womo auch stundenweise stehen. Die Tagesgebühr für 24 Stunden beträgt 15 Euro. Die Buslinie 11 fährt direkt vor dem Platz ab. Außerdem gibt es V/E, im Preis enthalten. Bei der Anfahrt an den Stellplatz vorsichtig sein, sonst ist man ganz schnell an der Einfahrt vorbei!
In die Altstadt von Florenz könnt ihr entweder laufen: am Stellplatz die Via Gelsomino hoch. An der Kreuzung links in die Viale del Poggio Imperiale. Der folgt ihr bis zur Porta Romana, wo ihr im Kreisverkehr halb links in die Via Romana abbiegt, die euch direkt zum Ponte Vecchio führt. Dauer ca. 30 Minuten). Oder ihr nehmt den Bus Linie 11, der direkt vor dem Stellplatz abfährt (gleiche Straßenseite). Tickets gibt's in Tabakgeschäften (1,50 einfache Fahrt) oder beim Fahrer (2,50). Ausstieg ist an der Station Frescobaldo, das ist die 5. Station. Achtung: zurück geht der Bus an der Ecke Lungarno Soderini/Ponte alla Carraia, das ist die 2. Brücke nach dem Ponte Vecchio und eine Brücke nach der, an der man ankommt. Die Station am Stellplatz heißt dann Gelsomino 1 und es sind mehr als 5 Stationen.
Florenz ist nicht nur eine große Stadt, wobei man die Altstadt bequem zu Fuß "erlaufen" kann, sie hat auch extrem viel zu bieten. Plazzi, Museen, Piazzas - so viel, dass man bestimmt mindestens Woche braucht, um alles zu sehen. Wir müssen uns leider auf das Wesentliche beschränken.

After arriving at the bus station, we are first across the bridge there. After the first orientation problems we found the Palazzo Strozzi. An art museum with free entry to the imposing inner courtyard. This is really very beautiful, unfortunately an installation of modern art (hammocks with rattles) has a negative impact on the overall architectural impression.
What is special about Palazzo Strozzi is the history of its origins. Strozzi wanted to build a magnificent palace, but feared the wrath of the Medici. So he spread the word that his family was planning to set up a small, modest branch in Florence. Thereupon he was clearly ordered by the Medici to kindly build a residence that would be worthy of the prestige of Florence and that of his family. Strozzi didn't have to be told that twice ...

The Palazzo Davanzati, which is very close to the Palazzo Strozzi, has changed hands several times in the course of its history, was barely the victim of a demolition as part of town planning at the beginning of the 20th century, rebuilt several times but is now in its old splendor.
The 14th century palazzo depicts the upscale life of the upper Florentine population in the 14th to 16th centuries. Elaborate frescoes that decorate the individual rooms, water on every floor, toilets and bathrooms also on every floor testify to the high standard of living of the owners.
For us, the Palazzo Davanzati is the most beautiful building after the Palazzo Vecchio and is definitely worth a visit.

The Florentine Cathedral is one of the most impressive buildings we have seen. The size and facade are absolutely magnificent, the marble-clad cathedral literally shines in the midday sun. And it is of a size that makes it almost impossible to get it in full glory and with all parts (cathedral with dome, baptistery and bell tower) in the picture.
As with the main museums of Florence, the Uffizi Gallery and the Academy, you have to order tickets in advance. Well in advance. Otherwise what happened to us happens: the dome (two mutually supporting dome shells span 41 m room diameter) was already fully booked for the next few days, the baptistery was only available much later that day and the bell tower (85 meters, 414 steps) cannot be booked separately.
And what you need for the cathedral, which you can enter without a ticket, is patience. Eternal queuing in the scorching sun is the order of the day. In our opinion, the cathedral itself is a bit plain.
The oldest part of the entire complex is, by the way, the octagonal Battisterio San Giovanni, the baptistery from the 11th / 12th. Century. The highlight are the gold-plated bronze doors. As with many outdoor works of art, these are copies. The originals are in the cathedral museum.
The Museo dell'Opera del Duome, the museum of the Dombauhütte shows works of art from the cathedral and the baptistery.
So: good planning and order at least a week in advance!

Orsanmichele - The church doesn't look like a church at all. But that's no wonder, because it was built in 1337 as a grain market. A picture of Mary displayed here turned out to be miraculous, so that the hall quickly became a church in 1380. The arcades were bricked up and Gothic windows were built in the upper part. The guilds set up their patron saints in the niches on the outer wall; the originals can be seen on Mondays in the museum on the upper floor.
Entry to the church is free.

Not only does the Palazzo Vecchio stand on it, but also a number of famous sculptures, such as Michelangelo's David (the original is in the Accademia), Hercules and Cacus by Bandinelli or the equestrian statue of Cosimo I de Medici . In the square is also the Loggia di Lanzi , an arcade hall in which the receptions of the city of Florence were previously held and which is also populated with statues.

The palace, the construction of which began together with the cathedral in 1299, was supposed to be the seat of the city council and so its original name was also Palazzo della Signoria. After the Medici came to power, they had the palace lavishly furnished from the middle of the 16th century. The building became the Palazzo Vecchio, the "Old Palace", after the Medici had built their Palazzo Pitti on the other side of the Arno.
The Palazzo Vecchio is a must see when in Florence. Wall and ceiling paintings, sculptures, the private apartments - it's all just worth seeing.

The Ponte Vecchio, the "old bridge" was built in 1345 and already then built on both sides with rows of shops. Butchers, tanners and fishmongers had their headquarters here. A corridor was laid out above it for the Medici so that they could get from their new palace, the Palazzo Pitti , to the other side of the administration building.
However, the Medici "stank" in the truest sense of the word when they had to cross the Ponte Vecchio. So they decided without further ado that only goldsmiths were allowed to operate their trade on the bridge. And that's still the case today.
Incidentally, the Ponte Vecchio has also made it to the cinema: In the film Parfum by Süskind, the Ponte Vecchio is the model for the Seine bridge, on which the perfumer Baldini lives.

The Uffizi, formerly the "office complex" of the city administration, commissioned by Cosimo I de Medici in 1559, today houses one of the most important art collections in the world.
If you want to see the works of Titian, Raffael, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Dürer ... you should book early. At least 3-4 days in advance on the Internet and on the official website of the Florentine Museums. Or you have a few hours to queue up for a ticket.
But a visit is worthwhile, the works and the sheer amount of works of art is absolutely overwhelming, even if at some point we felt a bit overwhelmed.
But honestly: what is a visit to Florence without the Uffizi Gallery?

Day 10
Den Tipp, nach Greve zu fahren, haben wir von Ilona, auch Nutzerin von FREEONTOUR, bekommen. Da wir ohnehin ins Chianti wollten, sind wir dem Tipp gefolgt und es hat sich definitiv gelohnt. Greve verfügt sogar über einen eigenen Stellplatz in der Nähe der Innenstadt, so dass man bequem in 13 Minuten rein laufen kann. Der Stellplatz ist kostenlos mit V/E aber ohne Strom. Er liegt direkt neben dem Schwimmbad, so dass es tagsüber nicht ganz leise ist, was uns aber nicht gestört hat.
Greve selber hat zwar eine kleine Altstadt, aber diese ist schön verträumt mit ihren Ladengalerien, Geschäftchen, Restaurants. Die Piazza Matteotti ist von Arkaden und mehreren Palazzi gesäumt und hier finden viele Märkte statt. Der Platz war während des Mittelalters der Marktplatz des Castello Montefioralle, einer Burg, die heute noch den Ort überragt. Auf der Piazza Matteotti befindet sich die Statue des Giovanni da Verrazzano. Dieser berühmte Forschungsreisende entdeckte einst die Bucht von New York.
Etwas ganz besonderes ist auch ein Besuch in der "Macelleria Falorni". Ein Geschäft, in dem der Himmel voller Schinken hängt. Und Salami in allen Variationen. Verschiedene Käsesorten und Weine. Auch zum probieren in der eigenen Weinbank. Und einen Bereich, wo man gemütlich schlemmen kann... Der Himmel auf Erden.

Wir hatten Glück und waren auch am Samstag noch in Greve, denn Samstag ist Markttag. Wir lieben Markttage. Es ist für uns, die wir aus einer Großstadt kommen, immer wieder erstaunlich zu sehen, dass in anderen Ländern wie Italien und Frankreich Märkte noch immer eine wichtige Einkaufsmöglichkeit darstellt. Kleidung, Haushaltsgegenstände aber auch natürlich Gemüse, Obst, Fisch und Fleisch. Das alles zu sehen, das bunte Treiben, die Gerüche und Farben, das geschäftige Gewusel der Menschen - das macht für uns die Faszination von Märkten aus. Und natürlich finden wir auch immer etwas zum Probieren und mitnehmen. Richtig lecker waren die Brötchen mit gegrilltem Wildschwein

If you are in Greve, visit the tourist information. There is interesting information there, for example a hiking tour to Montefioralle and, if you have the time and inclination and the heat doesn't slow you down, back to Greve in a wide arc. The special thing about the tour is that you pass various points where artists present their works.
Because of the intense heat, however, we only made it to Montefioralle and then went back almost the same way.
Montefioralle itself can be reached on foot in around 20 minutes. It is one of the oldest villages in the Chianti region and was one of the largest military fortresses in the region during the Middle Ages. Even today, Montefioralle is surrounded by the original walls, two octagonal fortress walls with four city gates. On a walk you can admire the pretty houses built on arches and the many passageways.

South of Greve, Chianti is only just beginning to get really beautiful (according to the lady from the tourist information office). And in this particularly beautiful part is Castellina in Chianti, one of the typical places of Chianti and Tuscany. And the place is really beautiful, has charm, away from the "normal" tourist destinations. Here, as in the other villages and towns in Tuscany, you can still experience Italy, literally feel it.
Our city tour led us first to the church of San Salvatore from the 16th century. It houses valuable art treasures, such as the Madonna fresco by di Lorenzo from the 14th century. We continued through the alleys to the 15th century Fortezza , which is also home to the Archaeological Museum. The small collection shows art of the Etruscans and is worth a visit, especially since you can only get to the tower through the museum, from which you have a fantastic view of the city and the surrounding landscape.
Back again, first a short break in the delicatessen store " la bottega del borgo food and wine ". The not so up-to-date plastic tableware may cause ecological remorse, but it will quickly make you forget the food and the wine. The pickled cherry peppers with tuna paste are awesome. We then took some of them with us.
After refreshment, we continue to our penultimate highlight, the accessible part of the tunnel that used to surround the city. Here you will find craft shops and restaurants.
Oh yes, there is the ubiquitous black rooster that you come across all over Chianti. It is not only the logo of the Chianti Classico Consortium founded in 1924, but there is also a story behind it. In order to end the endless conflict between Florence and Siena, both cities decided in the 13th century that two knights should set out at the first crowing of the cock and ride towards the opposing city. The meeting point should be the new frontier. The Sienese spoiled their white cock so that it should crow loudly. In contrast, the Florentines chose a black rooster that they barely fed, so that on the crucial morning it crowed hungry long before sunrise. So the rider from Florence was able to set out very early and he managed to get to the gates of Siena ...
The Castellina parking space is located on a parking lot that is a bit noisy during the day due to traffic, especially motorbikes, and is also designed for cars and buses. It costs 12 euros including electricity. V / E, water costs extra and you are in the middle of the city in about 10 minutes.

The Fattoria La Vialla is no longer a very secret insider tip. Some people know them and also shop there, be it online over the Internet or in one of the three "pantries" in Germany. But few were on the estate in Tuscany. They look forward to a visit there and are excellently prepared for them. La Vialla not only offers motorhome parking spaces (registration requested through the office), which are free but without service. There is a pick-up / delivery service with golf carts, a museum (an experience), a small restaurant, enjoy the tranquility of the courtyard, guided tours, wine tastings ... A visit there is slowing down in itself. Oh yes, almost every employee speaks German.
The specialty of La Vialla, however, is the fact that two brothers took over and restored a completely dilapidated farm in 1978, and at that time they were already fully committed to organic farming (today, biodynamic according to Demeter). We then went to the markets in Munich in a small delivery van. You can see that as an organic farm you can be extremely successful, provided you have courage, perseverance and a good concept. However, a good dose of luck is also part of it.

Dumm halt, wenn man um 11:00 Uhr ankommt...
Auch wenn es sich um einen Großparkplatz handelt, so haben wir doch recht ruhig dort gestanden. Und das er von den Teilnehmern der verschiedenen Feste zum trainieren genutzt wird finden wir eher interessant als störend. Egal ob Fassroller, Fahnenschwinger oder Trommler.
Vom Parkplatz aus ist man mit zwei kostenlosen Aufzügen auch schnell und bequem am Fuß der Stadt. Von da allerdings geht's (bis zum Rückweg) nur noch bergauf.

Montepulciano is one of the typical cities of Tuscany. Fortified, located on a mountain and full of history: old churches, palazzi and of course a castle. But Montepulciano has something else - the Nobile di Montepulciano. Already by the cellar master of Pope Paul III. Praised as an excellent wine in the 16th century, it became famous at all European courts. The maturation must be at least 2 years, one of them in wooden barrels. So anyone who buys a 2017 Nobile in 2019 has been tricked, because the wine harvested in 2017 may only be officially sold from January 2020. However, it can still be stored for a few years.
Anyone who is next to the churches and the various wineries (the Cantine del Palazzo Contucci is said to be a special one) invites the Fortezza to pay a visit. There is not only a very interesting exhibition about Leonardo da Vinci but also the wine bank of the cooperative. If you only try their wines in the sales rooms of individual winemakers, you can taste the different wines of different winemakers here in the wine bank in an interesting setting (glass floor above the excavations of cisterns).

Monticchiello is a small dreamy town, just as typical of Tuscany as Montepulciano. Even if it is small, the villages were mostly fortified, with strong walls and defensive towers. So also this little place. We got there early that morning, so one of the few sights, the church, was still closed. My attempt to open the door was watched with great interest by a cat who obviously also wanted to go into the cool church. In the tourist office you can learn a little about the place. So z. For example, that the citizens of the 13th century were tired of the persistent mismanagement of the Crusaders, who got the castle as a fief for their services and joined the Republic of Siena. From then on, the castle, or rather the place, experienced a heyday that lasted until the middle of the 16th century. During this time, after a heavy siege, it fell to Florence.

Monticchiello is a small dreamy town, just as typical of Tuscany as Montepulciano. Even if it is small, the villages were mostly fortified, with strong walls and defensive towers. So also this little place. We got there early that morning, so one of the few sights, the church, was still closed.

Pienza is definitely worth a stop and even the way from the south shows Tuscany like from a picture book. If you follow the signs for the parking spaces in Pienza, you come to a motorhome parking space for 4 mobiles, which unfortunately can also be used by cars. So you need a bit of luck. But it's worth it. In 5 minutes you can walk to the old town. And - of course - it has a lot of history to offer. There is the Palazzo Piccolomini, where Pope Pius II had his seat. The cathedral with the baptistery and the corridor labyrinth over several floors. The panorama path ...

Der Stellplatz, in einem "Vorort" von Montalcino, hat eine etwas steile Anfahrt und bei der Zufahrt von der Straße zum Stellplatz muss man aufpassen, nicht aufzusetzen. Die Stellplätze sind gepflastert und ausreichend groß, dass man Tisch und Stühle rausstellen kann. Es gibt V/E aber keinen Strom. Die Parkgebühr ist auch hier für Zeitintervalle zu entrichten, bezahlt man aber den Maximalbetrag (2 Intervalle), so erhält man einen Parkschein für 24 Stunden, anders als in Montepulciano.
Leider wird der Stellplatz auch zunehmend von Anwohnern als Parkplatz oder Abstellplatz für's eigene Womo benutzt. Aber da nicht wirklich viel los war ist das nicht weiter schlimm.

Day 16
The city of Montalcino, which dates back to an Etruscan foundation, is best known for its Brunello di Montalcine, one of the best red wines in the world. One of the few Italian red wines that can be made from pure Sangiovese, can be stored for 10 to 30 years depending on the vintage (if you have the patience and a suitable storage room). The wine must be stored for at least 4 years, at least 2 of them in wooden barrels.
But Montalcino has more to offer. On the one hand there is the diocesan museum in the former Augistine monastery. Or the cathedral. Or the Piazza Garibaldi and the Piazza del Popolo, where the tourist information is also located. And of course there are plenty of wine shops here too. However, we prefer the enoteca in the castle, the Fortezza.

Here you can have a good time. Well, the Enoteca la Fortezza is not cheap. But really good. And the wines that you get for the wine tasting are all really good. Sitting in the shade, watching the hustle and bustle across the courtyard and enjoying the good of Tuscany - that's how it can be endured.
And if you decide to take one or the other case of wine with you (as I said - these are really great wines, so they are not cheap), you can have them delivered free of charge within Europe. After all, shipping costs around € 40 elsewhere.
Strengthened it then goes through the enoteca on the defensive wall of the castle and the tower. The effort is rewarded with a wonderful view of Montalcino and the surrounding area.

The history of this abbey, which was founded in the 13th century but was abandoned in the 16th century, goes back to a legend about Saint Galgano. This, a young knight, led a target-me nefarious and depraved life until he had an apparition of the Archangel Michael, who asked him to change his life. He replied that it was easier to share a stone with your sword than to change your life. As proof he struck the rock whereupon his sword slipped through like butter and got stuck there. This place became a place of pilgrimage and Cistercian monks settled here. After two plague epidemics and constant attacks by rioters, the monks moved to Siena in the 16th century.
The Arthurian legend is probably inspired and influenced by this legend.

Day 17
Monteriggioni is a castle that, as an outpost of Siena against Florence, unlike usual, was not conquered, but built from scratch. At times 100 people lived here. Monteriggioni is also on the Via Francigena, an old pilgrimage route that led from England to Rome to the tomb of Peter and on to Jerusalem. The journey from Canterbury to Rome took about 80-90 days if you arrived healthy.
Montiriggioni fell into disrepair over the centuries, but was again painstakingly restored and is now not only a popular tourist magnet, but also the backdrop for lavish medieval spectacles every year in July. We were told at the tourist information office (in the medieval museum) that the medieval festivals were well attended, but not overcrowded. Parking spaces and tickets are always available.
Oh yes, one more thing: Monteriggioni was never conquered and has withstood all attacks. But after only 3 days of siege it fell through a betrayal of the governor, who gave the keys to the Florentine troops for safe conduct.

The hot and humid weather has overturned our plans; we move to the north and make our way home a little earlier than planned. Siena, which we had already visited 2 years ago, as well as Lucca, as well as Pisa, whose visit was a long time ago, we have to save for another time. It's a shame, but it was just too hot.
Since we liked the Schneeburghof so much on the way there, we quickly decided to stop for a few more days on the way back. In fact there was always a little wind through the mountains, so that the weather was quite bearable.

Meran - a little stroll on Saturday is a must. However, this time we did not take the same route from the parking space as we did during the first visit. We turned a little earlier and crossed the Passer on the Steinernen Steg a little upstream. On the next bridge downstream we went back to the spa promenade, where there was a flea market. It's always amazing what people keep, sell, and buy. For us, however, there was nothing there ;-)
Through the city it was then very comfortably back towards the chairlift and the parking space.

Unser letzter Tag in Meran
Show in list
While we're there ... We wanted to see if we could get to the Zenoburg. Since it is privately owned and inhabited, it can only be viewed on selected weekends and upon prior notification. But we wanted to have a nice view of the castle. So this time we followed the sign to Zenoburg and then a sign to a hotel / restaurant. That was a coincidence, but it was worth it. Although we could hardly see anything of the Zenoburg (that can only be done from the air), we found a wonderful park. Almost a bit of a jungle with lots of "natural" works of art. And a wild passer and a ravine. And that in Merano. Of course, we had to come across the Sissi way at some point. The walk was definitely worth it for us. Dreamlike.
The Reest was as usual - after a stroll through the city (some shops are also open on Sundays) back to the chairlift.
In the evening, this time we had dumplings for dinner - suuuper, after dark there was a really extraordinary spectacle, the Sacred Heart Fire. These go back to a long pre-Christian tradition and the summer solstice and have developed in Tyrol into the Sacred Heart Fires, which are lit on the 3rd Sunday after Pentecost. These Sacred Heart Fires, crosses and the letters "IHS" shine on all mountains. A fascinating sight and a nice farewell to Merano, Tyrol and Italy.

We are back in Germany. We only crossed Austria on Monday because the Fernpass and other federal and country roads are closed to tourists at the weekend. So we came back without any problems via Reschen and Fernpass.
As a station, we have chosen the parking space at Andechs Monastery. The facility, the monastery beer and the Braustüberl were tempting, the detour minimal.
The pitch costs € 17 with electricity, € 14 a night without; Included is a voucher for the Braustüberl for € 3.40, which is even valid for one year. IMPORTANT: Before you book and pay for your stay at the parking meter (coins and cards), think carefully about whether you need electricity. It can only be booked in conjunction with the parking space, not individually! Otherwise, the gravel parking space is nice, the demarcated plots are big enough and the way to the "Holy Mountain" is not far.

Yesterday we were a little too late to still enjoy the monastery and the Braustüberl in peace, so we extended it by one night and looked at everything today. The monastery complex, the church, the Braustüberl - all of this can be seen comfortably in one day. Incidentally, the Braustüberl closes at 8:00 p.m., as it is located in the monastery area, but the warm kitchen closes at 6:00 p.m. If you want to enjoy Wammerl, Haxen & Co., you should order them around noon or around 5:00 p.m. We were late so have to come back again!
Due to the predicted thunderstorms, which were obviously not on the weather list for Petrus, the brother Messner had not opened the church tower - so I have to use our little flying companion for the beautiful view of the monastery and the surrounding area.

Vielen Dank für die schöne Route und vor allem für die wirklich guten Fotos. Kompliment!
Fahrt ihr noch mal hin? Der Süden der Toskana und der Westen ist ebenso wunderbar. Die Maremma, der Monte Agentario und die Tuffstädtchen an der Grenze zu Latio, und nicht zuletzt Bomarzzo mit dem Parco dei Mostri, all dies würde euch sicher gut gefallen. Wir haben, wenn wir dort waren, gerne auch einen ausführlichen Schlenker nach Umbrien gemacht. Nicht nur das internationele Schokoladenfestival in Perugia, sondern auch zahlreiche kleine Städtchen halten das, was man in der Toskana inzwischen oftmals sucht: Genuss und Ursprünglichkeit.
Danke für den netten Kommentar. Ja, wir werden sicher wieder in die Toskana fahren; das wird aber noch etwas dauern. Danke schon mal für die Tipps, die wir dann sicher berücksichtigen werden. Liebe Grüße, Michael und Carmen
Und noch einen Tip muss ich loswerden?
Cortona! Ein wunderschöner kleiner Ort. Übernachten kann man dort kostenfrei auf einem Parkplatz mit einem sagenhaften Blick.
Danke für den Tipp. Wir finden es echt super, wenn die Route mit solchen Hinweisen Erweitert wird, denn das hilft allen, die sich unsere Route anschauen. Liebe Grü, Carmen und Michael
Wenn ihr sowieso in Greve haltet, ein kleiner Tipp von uns: Greve in Chianti – Le Cantine di Greve in Chianti – Verkostung
Auch wenn die Weinverkostung per Automat auf den ersten Blick befremdlich wirkt, kann ich die Cantine nur empfehlen. Ist allerdings nichts für den Abend, da sie früh (ich meine 20 Uhr) schon schließen.
Hallo Ilona, DANKE für deinen Tipp. Wir hätten Greve keine Beachtung geschenkt. Und das wäre ein Fehler gewesen. süßes, kleines Städtchen, der Marktplatz ist schön, aber die Läden unter den Arkaden, besonders der Feinkostladen, sind der Hammer. Waren in der Touristeninformation und werden morgen sogar noch eine Wanderung hier am Ort machen. Dann geht's südlich weiter, weil da lt. Information das Chianti erst so richtig schön wird.
In Montalcino gibt es eine Burg mit Weinverkauf -dort kann man den wunderbaren Brunello verkosten. Auch Saturnia solltet ihr besuchen. Es liegt schon einige Jahre zurück, dass wir dies alles erlebt und gesehen haben- aber es ist bestimmt immer noch so schön. Wir wünschen viel Spaß bei der Reise!!
Danke für die Tipps. Bis Saturnia werden wir nicht kommen, aber da waren wir früher schon mal auf dem Rückweg von Rom. Burg wird notiert. Liebe Grüße aus Frankfurt
In Greve müsst ihr unbedingt der Marchelleria (Metzgerei) einen Besuch abstatten. ein Erlebnis für die Sinne, Käse Wein Schinken und hervorragende Wildschweinsalami!!!!
Der Ort Castiglione de la Pescaia ist ebenfalls einen längeren Besuch wert!
Vielen Dank für die Tipps. Da wir ja eh nach Greve fahren, werden wir natürlich dort vorbeischauen. Castiglione... hatten wir auch von Facebook empfohlen bekommen - da muss was dran sein ;-) Wir werden in der Nähe auf dem Campingplatz stehen. Liebe Grüße aus Frankfurt
