In the heart of Tuscany, San Giovanni d'Asso offers spectacular views of the Crete Senesi. It is part of the municipality of Montalcino, located near the Asso stream.

San Giovanni is a characteristic village which is located in an elevated position and allows you to fully enjoy the view of the Crete Senesi.

The loop circuit crosses some truly suggestive panoramic places. Starting from Chiusure, the first part of the route is suitable for everyone. However, since the descent into the woods begins and in particular with the ascent, the path becomes challenging. Once under the walls of the abbey there is a closed gate which can be opened. In the last kilometer there is a very steep climb of about 500 meters with a difference in height of over 100 meters.

I do not agree with the review that gives this route as easy and suitable for everyone. There is a stretch inside the wood that is not practicable and we had to look for an alternative (small) detour. The climbs on the trails are very steep. I'm practically Nordic walking so I'm used to trails so that's why I feel like writing this comment.
