The 2 day trail ride starts in Montieri, in the province of Grosseto. The trail leads to the medieval village of Gerfalco and to the former silver mines of Gerfalco, where we recommend a rest. There is a particular nice view until the coast of all Maremma Tuscany. The ride continues downhill into a remote valley. A steep uphill will leads to the public farm Filetto, where the famous white Maremma cattle with their impressive long horns are breeded.
On the next day you will ride through chestnut woods and enjoy the complete silence of this region. This horseback trail in Tuscany is suitable for fit horses, that are used also to difficult terrains. The Trail Riding Center Rifugio Prategiano is an ideal starting point for this adventure.
