Discover Fiesole’s Trails of Art, Nature, Foods

Regenerate your senses: enjoy a ‘green day’ hiking on historical trails.

Walk through verdant ancient paths and savour ‘kilometre-zero’ organic foods in an organic farm!

OVERVIEW

If you are seeking for a regenerating ‘green hike‘ in Florence’s charming countryside, Fiesole’s trails are undoubtedly your best bet. Hikers of all ages, in fact, love to walk through Fiesole’s verdant Mediterranean forests of oaks and cypresses, whose trails are in a very good state of maintenance. You will enjoy your time in this ‘green oasis’, plunged in Nature.

Our itinerary unwinds through forests crowded with sandstone quarries, natural resources that were already used by the Etruscan and the Romans more than two thousand years ago. You will see the marks left by the activity of quarrymen, but also pay a tribute to the places where Leonardo da Vinci made his first experiments with his ‘flying machines’ back in the Early Renaissance. Maybe we will also be able to spot wild boars, foxes, pheasants and hares, who knows? You will enjoy slow hiking with us : it is our trademark. No rush.

We will also have private access to a stylish organic farm, with acres of private forests and cultivations. For lunch we will in fact enjoy their high-quality, kilometre-zero organic foods. Vegetables, cheese, meats , extra-virgin olive oil and, if you wish, a well-deserved glass of locally produced Tuscan wine!

So, make the best of your time in Florence : slow-hike with Tuscany Together! A Certified Environmental Guide will enrich your experience with valuable insights, but also give you the necessary technical assistance to hike in maximum safety.

Upon request, bespoke experiences for small groups and for families with children may be arranged.
