The Via degli Dei is a roughy 135 km long-distance trek from Bologna to Firenze (Florence). You walk through the Apennine mountains, which form the natural border between the regions of Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany, walking on trails alternating between magnificent forests and panoramic ridges with beautiful views over valleys and mountains. The hike may take 5 to 7 days according to your fitness or wanting.
Everybody knows the charm of now
totally overcrowded Florence, but do you know that also Bologna deserves at least three days to savour all the delights?
