As a plant expert and botany enthusiast, Ferdinando Panciatichi Ximenes d’Aragona designed the large green area surrounding Sammezzano Castle, approximately 65 hectares, which constitutes the current Historic Park. Around the ancient "ragnaia" (woodland) formed by a high forest of holm oaks, Ferdinando decided to place numerous rare and exotic plants. Their purpose was to serve the dual purpose of beautifying the exterior and gradually introducing visitors and guests to the wonders of the "Moorish" style of the Villa-Castle of Sammezzano. Among the exotic species introduced by Ferdinando, the most well-known are undoubtedly the majestic sequoias (Sequoia sempervirens and Sequoia gigantea), which, as demonstrated by the remarkable size they reached in just 150 years, certainly found the geological, soil, and climatic conditions favorable to their growth. Among these, the so-called "twin sequoia" stands out, as its trunk forks into two enormous vertical branches a few meters from the base. It is almost 54 meters tall and, with a circumference of 837 centimeters, the tallest sequoia in Italy. It is not only one of Italy's monumental trees, but also one of the select group of "150 trees of exceptional environmental or monumental value."

Unfortunately, we encountered fog and couldn't admire the view of the Valdarno, where we might have even spotted Florence. However, this way it's even more evocative as it feels like we're suspended in mid-air.

Striking small village surrounded by small valleys. Idyllic ascent.

Tough but really beautiful ascent through lush pinewood forests. A classic in the area. Continue towards the Secchieta summit, the Consuma pass or descend towards the upper Valdarno.

Still a very good street to take if you dare to tackle the high mountain! Nearly no traffic, great road surface and emerging into the forest with the Monastry for a quick leg stretch!

the Strada di Vallombrosa is safe to cycle. We also tried the stone path for a while, but that is more for hikers and real off-road riders. We turned back after a few hundred meters. the way there is just an ascent, the way back is done in 5 minutes.
