Dear group,

let's celebrate the advent of spring by having an excursion in a undeservedly little know area, the Pisan Hills"

Here art, history, and agriculture have coexisted in harmony for centuries, since the times of the Roman and the Etruscan civilizations. The deep rural roots and the colors of the countryside are evident when visiting towns and villages like Orciano Pisano and Lorenzana that are located on gentle hills and which in the past were the subject of many paintings by the Macchiaioli artists.

Here are some characteristics of the excursion:

Total length: about 17.5 km
Total climb altitude: Protected content
Actual travel time without stops: 5 hrs
Difficulty level: Medium
Duration: day trip, packed mid-day lunch

Required equipment:
Suitable dressing for the weather forecast, trekking shoes, water 1.5L min.

Carpooling will be attempted to reach the starting point of the hike but seats for everybody cannot be guaranteed.

Therefore, please consider using your own mean of transportation to reach the starting point; I'd be really grateful if you can offer seats to other participants!

Pls send me a private message to let me know if you need a lift and to provide your Whatsapp contact.

Stay tuned for updates!
