Mountain biking
A rare geological phenomenon just a stone's throw from Volterra:
Le Balze mark the landscape with force
A chasm wounds the gentle progress of the Volterran hills: they are the Balze, rock overhangs that, worked over the centuries by erosion, suddenly open up, cutting the friable earth.
The advance of the Balze has devoured, over the centuries, the Etruscan walls, churches and medieval houses, as well as the largest ancient necropolis of the city. But, in exchange, nature has given us a unique landscape, of grandiose force, not to be missed!
