Accommodation list
Night stay is not always available. Take a bus or taxi to the nearest town. Don’t hesitate to ask if someone is willing to have you stay. This may stimulate people to start a homestay or B&B. Try to call the accommodation in advance. Avoid booking sites; they keep a chunk of the price for themselves. For the hotels internet provides the information you need.
Camping is possible near virtually every village and in between. Ask in the villages.
Please inform us about changes, mistakes or new accommodations you noticed on your trip.
