ボルテッラの峡谷・トップ5

Good camping with a nice view and a small mini-shop at the reception. http://www.camping-volterra.com/

Le Balze 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!

Nice place. Visit in spring or early summer. In full summer possibly no water

the beauty of the Tuscan landscape together with the natural phenomena of the sulphurous spas with spontaneous springs in the woods, the Mediterranean scrub, the cave where Maurizio spent 13 years of his life as a hermit at the beginning of the 1900s, make this ring an interesting, beautiful and feasible excursion from everyone

Beautiful waterfalls reachable via a simple single trek only in small stretches impractical by bike (just get off). The photos (mine) unfortunately do not do justice .... The water descends in several balsi from a height of a few tens of meters to the pool below with a show that is worth a visit.

Before our visit it had not rained for 3 months, so there was no running water or even waterfalls. But you could follow the whole course up the gorge and climb great

The famous cliffs of Volterra, exposed clay, really characteristic if you take the climb to Volterra coming from La Sterza, about 5.5 km at 5% average

The “Pozzo Sfondato”, a Jurassic well on the volcanic rocks of the Evola River; a wild place where the river flowing over the rocks forms small waterfalls. Here over time, the water has dug into the rock some real wells or holes where the people of Montaione (and not only) come to cool off on hot summer days. The spot is easily accessible thanks to a dense network of nature trails in the Municipality of Montaione. Near the area you can still see the ruins of the old Molinuzzo delle Pozzole, but above all an old brick bridge that, in addition to the passage of goods, animals and people, was used to cross the "millstone" of the Molino delle Pozzole, located at valley at a distance of about 300 meters. A wonderful and unique place: nature that is combined with history, where it is possible to understand a glimpse of the local economy of the time thanks to the numerous mills along the river. A magical place for those who love bathing rivers and trekking itineraries.
