A short route that offers a fantastic view over the Val di Cornia valley and the opportunity to experience the heart of Suvereto and the small, romantic village of Belvedere, in a magnificent position. Olive groves and Mediterranean maquis, ancient stones and charming scenes tell the story of these places linked to migratory herding, which, up until the 1970s, kept the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines in constant contact with the Suvereto hills. The return route runs along the “corta di Belvedere” (short Belvedere trail), the direct downhill path (800 m) linking the two villages.
