フィレンツェの湖・トップ6

Renai Park, between Florence and Signa, is a 270-hectare area transformed into a park in 2000. It offers a small lakeside beach, rowing and surfing facilities, as well as a natural oasis for bird watching with tours organized by the WWF. Easily accessible by bicycle along the cycle path from the Arno, it is open from May to October.

Path that from the entrance of the Poggio Valicaia Park leads to the town of Casignano passing through Lake Chiesanuova. The surface is compact and gravelly up to Lake Chiesanuova, and then becomes a little more technical, bumpy and stony up to Casignano. It can certainly be done on a MTB safely and without ever having to get off the bike, while with a gravel bike it is a little more complex.

In this dry summer, the waterfall has dried up and only the pool has some water left - with crabs in it.

Beautiful park in Signa. Between Signa and Florence extends an area of private property for 270 hectares the Parco dei Renai also called "Free State of Renai" or "Isola dei Renai", an abandoned area in progressive transformation into a park since the end of the summer of 2000. Currently 70 hectares, managed by a public-private joint-stock company, are open to the public from May to October with free admission. Source: Wikipedia

Good dirt road, the only difficulty is the slope in some places, if you travel from the provincial road towards Querciola. It passes through the woods and in a short stretch it runs alongside the Chiesanova lake, a small artificial basin.

Very nice stretch with a short but hard climb of only 900m. After the road it continues along the lake of Castel Ruggero and ending in Grassina.
