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.
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.
During the trek there will be stops to recover energy, you will have a packed lunch and you will admire the most beautiful views of Valdichiana. Comfortable clothing suitable for the season, backpack, water, sunscreen in Summer and a camera are recommended.
