The denomination "biancane" is a recurring toponym in Tuscany, it indicates places where, in large areas, rocks or minerals of a dominant white color emerge, contrasting with the surrounding green of the woods or agricultural crops.
In fact, in addition to the Biancane di Monterotondo, so named because of large outcrops of jasper completely whitened by geothermal fluids, the "Crete Senesi" are also known with the name of Biancane, consisting of large heaps of marine Pliocene clays, the surface of which is white due to the presence of extensive crystalline efflorescence of a mineral, thenardite (sodium sulphate).

15 minutes from the top of the pass in the direction of Sasso - it's worth it!

Ring up to Sasso Pisano and return to Monterotondo to make the ring.
