    Hiking

    Lake Gherardesca is a small natural body of resurgent water, what remains of Lake Bientina (or Sesto), the largest lake in Tuscany until the mid-19th century, before this portion of territory was reclaimed by the will of the Grand Duke Leopold II of Lorraine.
    At the foot of Monte Pisano, one of the most important wetlands in Tuscany, about 30 hectares have become a special protection area for the protection of water birds.

    Hiking

    Was a bit disappointing because the lake was barely visible, you could only look at it from above. On the route along the lake there was 2 meters high vegetation that could not be seen or passed through.
