Started the day with a steep climb out up and down a ridge.


Looking back on the hill were the castle from yesterday was.

Much of the trail is followed a canal.

Today is as far south as we are going to go. Formista has one of the best perserved Romanesque style churches. In was finished in 1066 and took 20 years to build.



The church fell into disrepair and had some wood addons that had collapsed. The church was restored in 1890 and is a historic site.
