자연 보호 구역 디아치아 보트로나 최고의 사이클링 경로

The area currently known as the Diaccia Botrona Nature Reserve once contained a saltwater basin connected to the sea, which for centuries provided a significant economic source, ensuring the livelihood of the surrounding areas thanks to fishing, the fish trade, and the supply of salt. This enormous "piscaria" or fishpond, on which the castle stood, later became the toponym of the town, called Castiglione della Pescaia. Over the centuries, the Prile initially lost its salinity (the lake was declared a freshwater pond in 1386) and then gradually dried up, forming the marshy basins that characterize the wetland.

From here to the bridge that leads to the center the cycle path is well made and clean.

a beautiful view of the castle and the beach

On April 18, 2024, I tried to do this tour, but it was completely futile. Either the paths were inaccessible due to gates with locks and chains, or they were so overgrown that it would have been difficult to walk at best. It's a shame that the community doesn't support this beautiful tour better.

The seafront of Marina di Grosseto is a pleasant tree-lined avenue that runs along the beach. From here you can admire the colorful boats of the tourist port and the profile of Argentario on the horizon. Along the avenue there are numerous bathing establishments, restaurants, bars and shops, which make it a point of reference for life in Marina di Grosseto.
