Forests, hermitage and water


Exploring the hills and woodland between Prata and Sassetta. An evocative route that offers splendid views towards the Val di Cornia valley, immersed in the silence of uncontaminated nature. The Romanesque church Chiesa dell’Annunziata, now abandoned, lives in symbiosis with the forest and has always been a point of reference for the local woodcutters, in part due to the pure water spring nearby.
