Personal impressions of the trail | Tuscany Forum Trip

Together with two former professional cyclists, now experienced bike guides, and a mountain bike lover, we from Toscana Forum explored a section of this unique route in April: from Terricciola via the Teatro del Silenzio, along the Era river, through Peccioli and back to Terricciola. The views were breathtaking, the paths quiet and safe! Finally, we treated ourselves to a well-deserved break at a winemaker in Terricciola, including wine tasting and tasting - an unforgettable end to an eventful day. Take a look at the photo gallery!
