Over the pass

 Stage 34: Berceto to Groppoli (38,33 km) 

The first question of course: Which shoes to pick?

Then it is up the mountain. I wait for the steep climb up the pass.

But that never comes and after two hours of easy uphill hiking along an empty road I reach the Passo della Cisa, the highest point for this crossing of the Apennines (there will me more).

Small, deserted city streets

and wide panoramic views interchange during this pleasant day.
