After an enjoyable stay at the Albergo Falterona, it was uphill out of Stia.

Time for a coffee stop in Lonnano outside the 10th century Chiesa dei Santi Vito e Modesto:

On to Casalini & then the long, challenging climb up to Poggio Cavlino.
My excuse for the very regular stops was the great views!

Then through the forest..

... to the Eremo Camaldoli monastery.

Ask not for whom the bell tolls.

It tolls for thee.

Then downhill all the way to Camaldoli.

Time for a well-deserved Schiacciata.

And a Birra Grande !!
