Day VIII on the FRANCIGENA 17/06 to MONTEFIASCONE; 17 KM FROM BOLSENA.

17 Jun
Or so they say….
Lots of shade, undulating walk with some climbs albeit we are walking alongside the lake ,but on a ridge for the most part.
Noisy waterfall spilling into the lake
The end of the lake.
We thought this looked an inviting stop until we got close to the pipe where it warned not drinkable ! A Bummer.
Last glimpses of the lake for now.
We reached Montefiascone around 13.30 ; 11 miles enjoyable walking with a decent hill to finish!
This little city must be one of the most underrated and less known. We were very impressed by the history and culture plus the friendliness of the local people.
The Cathedral
Pelegrinos
Lake scene after a hefty shower.

Sunset from the balcony of restaurant Dante – a somewhat chaotic dining experience – but what views.

Thanks to Christina for some of the photos
