This section should be treated with caution. The subsoil consists of partly very loose boulders as thick as a fist, which like to roll down the mountain a bit. Quick decisions for the right driving line are the key to success.

This section is part of a gravel tour, for example, from Montalcino to Montepulciano. However, you can't ride there; instead, you have to push your bike for half an hour up a steep climb. Avoid at all costs.
