モンテカティーニヴァルディチェチーナのおすすめランニングルート

The village of Montecatini Val di Cecina is located among the picturesque hills of Valdicecina, a few kilometers from the historic city of Volterra. Anciently known as Monte Leone (Castrum Montis Leonis), this place has a long history of territorial disputes between the cities of Pisa and Volterra, before becoming part of the possessions of Florence in 1472. The history of Montecatini is closely linked to the nearby copper mines of Caporciano, which have a thousand-year history, dating back to the Etruscan era, and which remained active until the early twentieth century.

Beautiful places and panoramas are the natural setting of these places... paths and dirt roads ideal for MTB lovers...... the Caselli waterfalls are one of the places not to be missed.

There is a small bar here where locals meet for an espresso or a beer, or simply to read the newspaper.

Small town with an eye for cyclists, little transit roads with beautiful climbs to get there. Above all, the Poggetto climb from the SP18 going up towards the town is about 3.4 km long with a difference in altitude of 224 meters and an average gradient of 6.7% with double-digit peaks.

Small village with beautiful views and a beautiful road with little traffic.

It is worth getting to these small waterfalls of the Sterza river.

Really worth it to get this far.....

Nice view at the end of a long and tiring climb :-)
