Οι καλύτερες διαδρομές και πεζοπορίες στο Αρέτσο

θέα στη λίμνη Ridracoli

Επιβλητικό μέρος που είναι εύκολα προσβάσιμο με τα πόδια. Η μυρωδιά του θείου είναι πιο έντονη μόνο κοντά στην πηγή, αλλά δεν διαπερνά τη γύρω περιοχή.

Ένα χαμένο κόσμημα στην εξοχή της Τοσκάνης. Το Αβαείο είναι σε άριστη κατάσταση, με λιτή εξωτερική όψη και στο εσωτερικό μια έκρηξη εικόνων που αιωρούνται μεταξύ του ύστερου Μεσαίωνα και της πρώιμης Αναγέννησης.

Το Castelfranco di Sopra είναι μια γοητευτική μεσαιωνική πόλη στην επαρχία του Αρέτσο, μέλος των "Borghi più Belli d'Italia". Αξίζει σίγουρα μια επίσκεψη!

Castelfranco di Sopra is one of Florence's fascinating "new lands," with its historic center still designed according to the typical medieval layout of orthogonal streets and a central square. From here, splendid views open up over the famous Balze del Valdarno, landscapes that even captivated Leonardo da Vinci. Walking through the village, you'll encounter unexpected treasures: the Palazzo Comunale with its 14th-century fresco of the Madonna del Latte, the Church of San Filippo Neri with works from the school of Andrea del Sarto, and, a little further on, the evocative Torre d'Arnolfo, a 14th-century medieval gate with the Florentine lily carved in stone. A village rich in history, art, and surprising views.

Piantravigne is a small medieval village overlooking the spectacular Balze del Valdarno, clay gullies created by the retreat of an ancient lake. The landscape here is striking, almost lunar, and makes this place truly unique. A Pazzi castle once stood here, destroyed in 1302 after a siege during the battles between the Whites and the Blacks. This episode is also recalled by Dante in the Inferno (Canto XXXII).

The hike was done in October, a quiet, sunny day. It's best to dress in layers because you'll sweat a bit at the start of the climb, so short sleeves are fine. I later used a Patagonia sweatshirt because it was chilly up there, and a shell jacket if you go in colder weather! I highly recommend it, the view is worth it.

Now at the beginning of October the “waterfall” had only a small trickle, you could no longer speak of a waterfall 🤨
