Hiking on the Mills path in Castiglion Fiorentino

Discovering ancient springs in Valdichiana Aretina, an adventure through unique panoramas

This trek will take you to the borders of Valdichiana to discover its inner rural, pure and characterizing side of the land that was once known as the granary of Etruscans. The route will show you the historical importance that agriculture had in this area, up to the last century.

A route that develops on the history and landscape of the village in the Valdichiana Aretina

The circular route develops in the surroundings of Castiglion Fiorentino along a network of country roads and paths at the bottom of the valley with an interesting historical and naturalistic value. An environmental guide will take you to discover the ancient Cilone stream (now merged into the Vingone, following the reclamation works of the past centuries), the farmhouses, the centuries-old oaks, the maples rows with vines that delimit the road and the landscapes are the strong points of this beautiful itinerary. From the path, raised above the country level, it is possible to recognize the settlements on the surrounding hills and along the entire stretch there are toponyms that recall the ancient function of these places, linked to cereal milling: Mulin Nuovo, Mulino Bianco, Mulino dello Zoppo, Mulinacci.
