Mountain biking

The old railway line was blocked with concrete blocks in the middle, making it almost impossible to bypass it because it was completely overgrown with thorn bushes. So choose a different route... or take a machete 😉

If you arrive from Saline di Volterra, just before the concrete blocks there is a path on the left that passes at the base of the bridge and leads back to the railway section.
