A walk through the Rufina hills in the late afternoon.
Uphill on sheep tracks and paths; on the way back, on a dirt road, given the approaching darkness.

An easy hike along agroforestry and pastoral paths, through forests of holm oak, oak, ash, cypress, and various conifers, amidst constant cold gusts of north wind, mitigated by the dense forest.

A beautiful hike along paths and sheep tracks among the hills and knolls of Montebonello. This was done in the afternoon, with a few clearings, a south-westerly wind, and constant cloud cover.
The section of trail between Casa Pozzo and Avacchio requires orienteering skills, as it is often engulfed and
