Wheat fields, farmland and rows of trees on the horizon. The land rolls softly beneath your feet, and there’s no real climbing to do today. You’ll hardly notice the change in height.

Still, this isn’t a short day. It’s all about the distance: around 25 kilometres, a good 6 hours on the road. The landscape is open, so you’ll get plenty of sun and wind. Between the villages, you’ll mostly hear your own footsteps and the birds. That’s exactly what makes this day so good.

In Melle, a town with Romanesque churches awaits you, a lovely reward for your feet. Take your time and the road will take care of itself.

Tips for this stage

  • The land is open, so a hat and sun cream are part of your kit today.
  • Top up your water and food along the way; the stretches between the villages are long.
  • Save a bit of energy to see the Romanesque churches in Melle.
