グロッセートのおすすめライド

Great climb on good tarmac. Can be driven in both directions.

マッサ・マリティマは、保存状態の良い城壁に囲まれてそびえ立っています。この町はツーリングクラブから「バンディエラ・アランチョーネ」（オレンジフラッグ）を受賞しており、その起源はおそらくエトルリア起源ですが、中世の芸術的な証拠に満ちています。丘を横切る小さな通りは、線の調和が驚き、感嘆させ、そして瞑想を誘う魔法の場所へと続いています。マッサ・マリティマの歴史は、最初の金属時代から、そして特にエトルリア時代と中世に利用されたコッリーネ・メタッリフェレの銀、銅、黄鉄鉱の鉱山と密接に関連しています。

And after the effort, a lovely stop at the Barrino di Tatti. A snack just outside the medieval village, with views from the terrace and dining room spanning the Maremma all the way to the sea.

It feels like stepping back in time; if you pass by, a coffee at Gianni's, the owner of a small but well-stocked grocery store in the center of town, is a must.

Nice café/bar in the town center

The Accesa area is also extremely significant from an archaeological perspective. Near the lake, in the Macchia del Monte area, numerous excavations were carried out as early as the 1930s, and resumed in the 1980s, bringing to light numerous remains of four Etruscan villages dating from the 9th to the 6th century BC. The buildings of the various settlements, of which only the foundations are visible, are gathered in scattered groups within a rather large area. Given their location, it is hypothesized that these villages were linked to mining, especially copper from the Fenice Capanne and Serrabottini mines. It is also thought that these mining villages were mining outposts that were subordinate to the large center of Vetulonia, to which they supplied raw materials. In addition to the complexes intended for housing and mining, many tombs of various types (pit, pit, circle, and chamber) were also discovered.

Approximately 10 km from Massa Marittima, we find Lago dell'Accesa, of great naturalistic, environmental, and historical-archaeological interest, so much so that its evocative atmosphere has given rise to numerous legends. Of karst origin, the lake is approximately 38 meters deep and feeds the Bruna River, its only estuary. Besides being suitable for swimming, it offers refreshing summer refreshment thanks to the typical vegetation surrounding it, consisting of reeds, rushes, poplars, and eucalyptus trees, as well as typical Mediterranean scrub. It is an ideal spot for pleasant walks along the shore and in the surrounding area. The crystalline waters are populated by a diverse fish fauna, including trout, pike, carp, and perch, as well as an equally rich population of aquatic birds.
