토리타 디 시에나 최고의 라이딩 경로

Montefollonico는 Torrita di Siena의 일부로, 번잡한 관광지에서 벗어나 조용하고 우아한 분위기를 자랑합니다. Chiesa del Triano 교회에서는 Montepulciano와 전형적인 토스카나의 구릉 풍경을 감상할 수 있는 멋진 전망이 펼쳐집니다. 조용히 쉬어가며 사진을 찍기에 좋은 장소입니다.

I crossed it in the middle of August, the thermometer at 44 degrees, I will remember it for a long time...

Very cool place for water refilling. Nice artwork.

Panoramic stop with a row of cypress trees, symbol of the Val d'Orcia.

It is really only possible to access the Radicofani tower via Via Marconi, as the original footpath and the small access road are both blocked. It is a bit of a climb, and has 'normal' opening hours and costs about €5 to enter. I would say it is worth it! My vertigo stopped me from going right to the top floor, but even from the next from top, the views over the valley are astounding, and the historical associations are rich.

Arriving about 230 on a Sunday afternoon, the lunch service was theoretically at a close, but they kindly provided me a big plate of pasta (primi piatti from the lunch menu) and a glass of Sardinian beer which revived the spirits considerably.

Tuscan towns seem to divide into 2 categories, those on the "tourist trail" and those not. For some reason Radicofani seems to be "not", even though it is full of present-day charm and (often uncharging) history. It is a stiff climb to get to from the floor of Val d'Orcia, even when cycling while the walking effort is truly epic, but worth it! We stayed in an utterly charming tiny cottage, Casa del Ciliego, and ate in one of the numerous small restaurants - plenty were open, even on a quietist Sun evening. Stocked up in the amazing tiny grocery, hidden away in the ancient 'ghetto' part of the town. You can also buy enough to make a full meal quite easily here.

Interesting, but popular (i.e. crowded and busy) small Tuscan hill town. The walled garden is recommended for the interesting layout, and the statue of Lorenzo the Magnificent. Near the top of the steep descent out of town in the eventual direction of Radicofani, a large Restaurant/cafe/deli is to be found. Good place to have a coffee/breakfast, and to stock up on takeaway pizza for the journey.
