May 2025: Bridge currently under construction! Stressful village, so if in doubt, better avoid the bridge to avoid turning around ;)

The bridge allows you to avoid the state road

Between Contea-Londa station and the center of Dicomano, along the railway line that connects Pontassieve and Borgo San Lorenzo, this stretch of cycle path is unpaved but easy and suitable for any bicycle. Long and well maintained, it allows you to pedal along the Sieve.

beautiful bridge, but the cycle path is only accessible with gravel bikes

Nowadays, they are often just monuments to a long tradition of craftsmanship: the heavy millstones were moved using only the power of the wind as the driving force and, for example, grain was ground into flour (grain mills) or oil was pressed from olives (oil mills). But the writer Miguel de CERVANTES (1547 to 1616) also created a literary monument to the technical monument of the mills: the most famous figure of the author, who is considered Spain's national poet and whose work can certainly be valued as world literature: "Don QUIXOTE", also known as the "Knight of the Sorrowful Countenance" and always accompanied by his loyal squire Sancho Panza, fights a - of course hopeless - battle against windmills in one of the fictional stories, in which he believes he recognizes four-armed giants.

It is worth traveling along the cycle path along the Sieve just to see this wooden bridge: a splendid example of architecture designed for gentle mobility. From the bridge you can calmly observe the rushing flow of the waters and the surrounding nature.

The village of Pontassieve, at the confluence of the Arno and Sieve rivers, is surrounded by the typical landscapes of the Tuscan countryside. Do not miss the Medici Bridge or the Sansoni-Trombetta Palace.

Beautiful track that from Dicomano, along Sieve, leads to Sandetole to rejoin the SS Toscoromagnola. The footbridge over the Sieve is beautiful.
