The origin of the term "Macinaie" has no certain scientific explanation. In 2012, however, dozens of millstones made of trachytic stone, probably dating back to the Middle Ages, were found in the highest part of the mountain, about three kilometers from the town; with a diameter of about 70/80 centimeters. They were perhaps used to grind wheat, cereals and dried chestnuts. The area, therefore, could have been a rudimentary millstone laboratory, made with peperino stone from Amiata. The discovery would provide an explanation for the birth of the toponym "Macinaie", as a place where millstones were built.

Starting and finishing point where you can take the chairlift to reach the summit and the trail area, we also find bars, restaurants and snack bars.

One of the few points on the hike around Abbadia San Salvatore from where you can see Monte Amiata

Also a place to escape the summer heat. It is much cooler up here.
