The first larger village today is Groppello Cairoli, where we can get food and beverages. We can do so as well in the next village with the soundful name of Villanova D´Ardenghi. After 16 km of hiking, we come to the River Ticino, along which we will now hike until we reach Pavia.
There we will coss the river on the «Ponte Coperto», a roofed bridge. The bridge had been built by Romans, and the roof has been added during the Middle Ages. During World War II, the bridge had been destroyed, and was rebuilt later in the same style, but twice as large as it used to be. One of the highlights of Pavia is the Basilika San Michele, but Pavia has much more to offer, so why not take a day off and enjoy sightseeing.

Pavia ist ein geeigneter Ort für einen Ruhetag und für die Retablierung userer Ausstattung, und auch an die Grüsse für die Zurückgebliebenen.
