A truly stunning place both for its nature and landscape and for mountain bike lovers, with many trails for all abilities.

The Accesa area is also extremely significant from an archaeological perspective. Near the lake, in the Macchia del Monte area, numerous excavations were carried out as early as the 1930s, and resumed in the 1980s, bringing to light numerous remains of four Etruscan villages dating from the 9th to the 6th century BC. The buildings of the various settlements, of which only the foundations are visible, are gathered in scattered groups within a rather large area. Given their location, it is hypothesized that these villages were linked to mining, especially copper from the Fenice Capanne and Serrabottini mines. It is also thought that these mining villages were mining outposts that were subordinate to the large center of Vetulonia, to which they supplied raw materials. In addition to the complexes intended for housing and mining, many tombs of various types (pit, pit, circle, and chamber) were also discovered.

Approximately 10 km from Massa Marittima, we find Lago dell'Accesa, of great naturalistic, environmental, and historical-archaeological interest, so much so that its evocative atmosphere has given rise to numerous legends. Of karst origin, the lake is approximately 38 meters deep and feeds the Bruna River, its only estuary. Besides being suitable for swimming, it offers refreshing summer refreshment thanks to the typical vegetation surrounding it, consisting of reeds, rushes, poplars, and eucalyptus trees, as well as typical Mediterranean scrub. It is an ideal place for pleasant walks along the shore and in the surrounding area. The crystal-clear waters are populated by a diverse fish fauna, including trout, pike, carp, and perch, as well as an equally rich population of aquatic birds. The Accesa area is also extremely significant from an archaeological perspective. Near the lake, in the Macchia del Monte area, numerous excavations were carried out, uncovering three Etruscan settlements.

We are in one of the most beautiful squares in Tuscany! This stunning and unusual star-shaped medieval square is Piazza Garibaldi, a sort of open-air theater bordered by the city's most important historic buildings: the majestic Cathedral of San Cerbone, the Palazzo del Podestà, home to the Archaeological Museum, the Palazzina dei Conti di Biserno, the Palazzo dei Priori, now the town hall, Palazzo Malfatti with its loggia, and the more secluded Palazzo delle Fonti dell'Abbondanza.

The road is a quiet provincial road with little traffic and beautiful hilly landscapes. The Marsiliana State Reserve is part, for a large stretch, of the Montioni Natural Park and extends for approximately 450 hectares in a vast hilly area. An area for the protection of the hilly landscape and the "Maremma horse." Managed by the State Forestry Corps, the Marsiliana State Reserve extends around the villa of the same name and includes woods, Mediterranean scrub, pastures, and olive groves.

From the descent, known as "Schiantapetto," as from many other parts of Massa, you can see the sea. In the distance, you can even glimpse Follonica with its skyscraper.
