You walk into Nisa with warm feet and a calm mind. That’s exactly how this day feels. There’s hardly any climbing or descending, and the highest point stays below 350 metres. So it’s not a hard day.

The challenge is the duration. For almost six hours you put one foot in front of the other at an even pace. There’s little to decide and plenty to look at, so your thoughts wander off on their own. The kilometres creep in unnoticed, and you only feel them in your feet. So do take a proper break halfway. At the end of the day, you find a spot in the shade in Nisa, set your rucksack down beside you and watch the people walking past for a while.

Tips for this stage

  • Walk at a calm, steady pace; on the flat stretches the distance creeps up on you.
  • Take enough food and water for almost six hours of walking.
  • Plan a long break halfway and take your boots off for a while.
