The tour was created by Komoot. We parked in the paid parking lot for €5.30 for about 3.5 hours. The hike takes us through the holiday homes on gravel roads. There are a few cars on the road, but the progress is good, and there are beautiful views of San Gimignano along the way. The last kilometer is on a …

The route starts around 900m and in between 250m along a busy road. But it is easy to walk on the hard shoulder. The rest of the route runs along gravel paths that serve as access routes to the wineries. There only now and then a car with almost walking pace.
Little shade, take drinks with you, no possibility to …

The 15 towering family towers are striking, remains of the original 72. The town layout from the 13th and 14th centuries is almost completely preserved. …

The tour goes along small, quiet asphalt roads and gravel paths. In two places you have to walk on the country road, i.e. without footpaths. If you can bear that, you can enjoy wonderful views.

In order to get to know our holiday destination a little better, we did the only round that Komoot suggested today. 😅
The temperature was 28 degrees in the shade 🥵, but it's probably the coolest day of the week. As already mentioned in Schenna, the temperatures here in May are also lower here.
Nevertheless, the round showed us different …
