I really enjoyed the combination of the salty cheese with the sweet toppings, and it made me quite interested in Tuscan food.</p> <p>Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t very good on that trip, so we gave up on exploring more of the area.</p> https://xiaoxin.fr/posts/one_night_in_verona/ Tue, 29 Sep 2026 08:32:12 +0200 https://xiaoxin.fr/posts/one_night_in_verona/ <p>Yesterday, after finishing our hike, we drove from Bozen to Verona and stayed there for the night.</p> <p>Today, we continued south towards Tuscany.</p> <p>We didn’t really have a detailed plan for Tuscany. We just wanted to drive around, eat good food, see some countryside, and visit a few cities along the way.</p> <p>But even before reaching Tuscany, Verona already felt quite different from Bozen.</p> <p>The way people talked felt more lively and expressive, and the food had changed too. We were no longer eating things like schnitzel. Pizza and pasta had taken over.</p> https://xiaoxin.fr/posts/a_closer_look_at_rosengarten/ Mon, 28 Sep 2026 20:31:08 +0200 https://xiaoxin.fr/posts/a_closer_look_at_rosengarten/ <p><img alt="View of Rosengarten" loading="lazy" src="https://xiaoxin.fr/posts/a_closer_look_at_rosengarten/DSC09116.webp"></p> <p>Yesterday, we saw Rosengarten from a distance while driving to Sassolungo. It looked quite impressive, and since it was also close to our hotel, we decided to go and have a closer look today.</p> <p>The night before, I checked the Carezza website and found that a day pass was only €39. It covered all the lifts in the area, so it seemed like a good deal. There was also free parking at the Welschnofen cable car station.</p> https://xiaoxin.fr/posts/a_hike_around_sassolungo/ Sun, 27 Sep 2026 20:03:59 +0200 https://xiaoxin.fr/posts/a_hike_around_sassolungo/ <p><img alt="View of Sassolungo" loading="lazy" src="https://xiaoxin.fr/posts/a_hike_around_sassolungo/DSC09074.webp"></p> <p>Today we went to Forcella del Sassolungo to try the small cable cars, which are nicknamed “coffin cable cars.”</p> <p>We were staying at a hotel in Nova Levante, so getting there meant quite a lot of driving through the mountains. The road was beautiful, especially on the way to Canazei. I turned on my camera and started recording the winding roads.</p> <p>When we finally reached the top, I thought I had recorded enough, so I turned it off.</p>
