Hiking
Kaolin quarry, massive abandoned mining site rich in kaolinite, clay mineral, hydrated aluminum silicate. The formation is linked to the hydrothermal alteration processes present in the area. The quarry appears of extreme interest for understanding the dynamics of spontaneous re-naturalization underway by a very rich floristic biodiversity. Interpretation point of the NW landscape of the Tolfa complex up to the Mignone valley, the sea and in the background the Tuscan archipelago to Mount Amiata.
