MTB IN THE LESSER KNOWN PARTS OF TUSCANY
Tours
Val di Merse is situated just south of Siena. For more route tips visit the link below.
Not that much single trails but lots of white dirt roads, "strade bianche".
This tour starts and ends at the monastery of San Galgano. Note that the fee for the car park is quite expensive. We parked for free along the main road.
Food: There is a restaurant/bar at the monastery. Bring your own stuff if you want something en-route.
Maps
It's hard to get good maps of this area. There is the Kompass 661 Siena-Chianti Colline Senesi 1:50000, a bit crappy if you ask me. The best map we could get our hands on is Montagnola Senese 1:35000, Globalmap ISBN 88-7914-351-4. None of the maps are GPS compatible.
