(9,146 km)
\nWe took a day off at Valle Verde campground....partially for me to work o a\njob application, sad times!
\nThe route started with a bit of a komoot special. We headed down the valley on\nbike paths for about 10km, then knew the route turned off and actually avoided\na bigger hill by doing so. However.....the 'smaller' hill was pretty much\nstraight up a dirt track. It nearly broke us! After that, we still had a bit\nof climbing to do, which was steep at the beginning, on small roads through\nvillages. We then joined another bike path and climbed again, but it wasn't\nbad at all. The bike path was lovely too, and we found a good spot to have our\nlunch and dry out the tent.
\nFor the descent into the Trento valley, we ignored the gravel bike path\n(although actually, it looked ok) and stuck with the roads. The bigger road\nwas a little busy but fine, and the views were spectacular. Credit due to\nkomoot - it took us through the beautiful village of Montagna which we\nwouldn't have wanted to miss (despite cobbles!). Once on the valley bottom, we\npicked up the Adige bike path which is very flat indeed. We ignored komoot\nwhich kept trying to take us onto roads.....but later realised that this might\nactually have been a better route, as the bike path does not assume a straight\nline!

\nFollow with caution.....see above.
It felt like a bit of a slog, as our longest day for absolutely ages. But we\nfinally made it to Trento, where we stayed at Ostello Giovanne Europa. It's\npretty good in that it's cheap, clean etc, but no kitchen and very little\natmosphere. Good location for exploring Trento though. We liked Gigi's caffe\nfor coffee and croissants in the morning!
