Etruscan Coast three-day trek
Fantastic guided itinerary through the Etruscan Coast and its hinterland, visiting San Vincenzo, Piombino and Baratti
Between sky and sea, large spaces to walk in by small steps to meet the wild soul of the Etruscan Coast in Tuscany.
We will visit wonderful Protected Natural Areas with extensive ilex groves and dune systems, relax to the sound of the waves walking on the sand in front of the spectacular seascapes of the Piombino Promontory and Buca delle Fate.
We will discover ancient hermit sites and learn about the special mining history of the Etruscans with the splendid panoramic views of the Tuscan Archipelago Islands from the top of Monte Romitorio.
- San Carlo, Monte Romitorio: this is a small hillside village at the foot of Mount Calvi, immersed in greenery and completely surrounded by hills. It is located just five kilometers from the well-known seaside resort of San Vincenzo. We will walk an evocative hiking loop in the Etruscan Coast village, known for its limestone mining activities by Solvay.
- The Piombino Promontory: an itinerary that has now entered among the great excursions of the Etruscan Coast; it combines wonderful views of the Archipelago National Park and the imposing limestone cliffs, the scents of the Mediterranean scrub and ilex groves, coves and small beaches with incredible colors and the atmosphere full of charm and mystery of Etruscan history. One of the most spectacular areas of the Etruscan Coast between Cala Moresca, Fosso alle Canne and the Long beach to Punta Falcone.
- Gulf of Baratti: this will be a mythical coastal walk from the ancient tower of Campiglia to the old lighthouse located at the end of the Gulf of Baratti. Furrowing dunes we will walk between the pine forest and the shoreline, accompanied by the intense scent of the Mediterranean scrub we will arrive at a scenic spot where there will be a stop for a picnic lunch.
