오르치아노 피사노 최고의 라이딩 경로

Pomaia is a hamlet of 200 inhabitants in the municipality of Santa Luce; it is located in the Pisan Hills and can be reached from the SP 13 road connecting Castellina Marittima to Santa Luce or from the S 206 via Via Poggiberna. The village of Pomaia is not much different from the many Tuscan hilltop villages: the lower part, crossed by the provincial road, features functional buildings but without any particular architectural merit, while higher up lies the older part, whose predominantly medieval layout is recognizable by the winding streets that converge in small squares, the narrow alleys, the short arched tunnels separating the buildings, and the building materials (the predominantly reddish or gray stone of the facades). A few hundred meters from the village is the Tibetan monastery dedicated to Lama Tsongkhapa, visited by thousands of people, including the Dalai Lama. Buddhist philosophy and culture courses and meditation practices are held there, attended not only by clergy but also by lay people from Italy and abroad. Inside the monastery complex, among other things, is an imposing statue dedicated to the Buddha of Compassion: at 6 meters tall, it is the tallest in Europe. It is brightly colored and has four arms, expressing hope for peace, equality, and wisdom for all life. Another nearby attraction is the Santa Luce Nature Reserve, which also includes an artificial lake built by the Solvay company to ensure a constant water supply. Thanks to its location along migratory routes, the Reserve offers refuge to a wide range of birdlife and is managed by LIPU (Italian League for Bird Protection).

beautiful mountain village with great views

A beautiful view that includes nature, cities and the Rosignano Solvay factory

Slowly with the weight back and the brakes on😬

Beautiful stretch of road with beautiful typical Tuscan views and on the coast and little traffic. To and from Riparbella and Castellina.

Great view of the sea

A really beautiful and recommendable section.

Halfway up the hill between the plain and Castellina Marittima, it's worth stopping at the panoramic square overlooking the valley, or for a sandwich with local cheese and ham at one of the grocery stores. Leaving the village, there's a small park with a fountain of quality water and a shaded bench near a statue of a mother with a dead child in her arms, a reminder of the barbarity of war.
