Cussey sur L’Ognon to Besancon – 18.5 km
Up and down through wooded areas for the first half and then mostly suburbs and modern industrial parks until we reached city center. What a surprise! A stunningly beautiful old city of medieval and 17th -18th century buildings framed in a loop of the Doubs River with the Jura mountains in the background. It was a short walk so we arrive early enough for a late lunch on the banks of the river. A nice plate of carbonara for me and Napoletana for Paula. We taste an Italian influence in the food. We will rest here 2 nights to soak it in and do laundry

Happy 4th to our favorite Trekkers!

I think there is nothing “ farniente” about this adventure; dolce for sure! How many hours do you walk each day on average? Joost wants to do this on an electric bike.

We walk 6-9 hours depending on the day. Joost should check out viafrancigena.org it has the bicycle routes.
