Poggio del Pino Circuit


A hilly route set in the Mediterranean maquis, skirting the slopes of Poggio del Pino and hallmarked by water in the form of streams and ancient springs. The trail winds amongst cork oaks and tall turkey oaks in an area that in Ancient Roman times was used for processing iron ore mined on the isle of Elba and on Monte Calvi. The area is in the hills north of Suvereto immersed in a magical solitude.
