Walking in Tuscany / Italy
For all nature sports in Italy, especially for walking, the holiday home Podere Palazzone is an ideal starting point. In fact, the generous nature around our agriturismo invites you to beautiful walks and small hiking tours. More demanding trails or day trips can be perfectly enriched with historical attractions. For example, abandoned castelli, rustici and ruins of remote abbeys. Something very special is the natural spectacle of the fumaroles and the warm springs in the Valle del Diavolo. Typical Tuscan landscape can also be found walking around the famous cypress group in the Val d’Orcia.
Nature parks in Tuscany / Italy
Right next to our holiday home in Tuscany are two nature parks with a well-developed network of marked trails. One is the Riserva Naturale di Monterufoli, the other is the Foresta di Berignone. The latter is an endless forest, criss-crossed by rivers, waterfalls, and steep gorges in wild nature. Therefore, it is perfect for hiking a couple of hours, such as to the overgrown Castello dei Vescovi. In addition, it is great for day hikes to its highest elevation, the Monte Soldano (554 m above sea level). The best time to explore our wilderness in Italy is from autumn to early summer. We recommend wearing sturdy shoes when walking. Because in Tuscany there are almost no flat trails. Somehow, it always goes uphill or downhill. The nearby summit of the Cornate (1.059 m above sea level) in the Colline Metallifere awaits hikers with more alpine objectives. Also, a little further north, there are the beautiful Alpi Apuane with their mountain huts, Vie Ferrate, and peaks of up to 2.000 meters.
Just ask us
The vast area of the Etruscan tombs of Populonia offers a unique combination of nature and history. The Middle Ages and recent mining history can be wonderfully experienced in the Parco Archeominerario di San Silvestro. There, you walk and drive through disused shafts to then hike to the Rocca di San Silvestro. Don’t miss the stunningly beautiful cave Grotta del Vento, which offers a mixture if adventure and hiking.
There are so many walking proposals in Tuscany, our corner of Italy. We would be happy to tell you where and how.
