| POPULONIA - PIOMBINO |
| |
|
When you get to Populonia, over
the village after about 1 Km., just after the area called
"Buca delle Fate", you
will find a big gate. You may park your car in the nearby
and walk along the road leaving from the gate.
|
| |
|
Next to the gate you will find a pedestrian
crossing that leads you in a road - quite broad and comfortable-
where the path begins (this road is cartroad for forester
vehicles).
After a small church, go straight down until you find a uphill
path on your right. This upward slope will go on for about
hundred metres and you may get to the top of the small hill
you will be going along. Then you go down and the path will
become ground, skirting the sea.

| |
| The tour end in the nearby of a
place called Cala Moresca set in
Piombino area. To come back, go along the same path. |
