This cycling route, suitable for everyone, winds mainly downhill along the sides of the hills that are home to vineyards, olive groves and cultivated fields. A guide will take you from the start (Piazza Sant’Agnese in Montepulciano) to the finish line (Lake of Montepulciano). The route reaches the Temple of San Biagio as its first place of interest, passes in front of the small country church of the Madonna della Querce, crosses the woods and dirt roads along which the ruins of the ancient farmhouses stand, and finally reaches the lake of Montepulciano. Here at the Montepulciano Lake Nature Reserve, you can relax and recover your energy while enjoying a delicious Tuscan snack. Return to the historic center of Montepulciano by taxi.

** Visit of the caves and the world of prehistory in the Archaeological Park of Cetona
Monte Cetona hides a thousand-year history that shows us human settlements and much more in these lands, in remote and almost unknown times. The precious finds among huts and caves, prehistoric tools, guided tours in the park, skeletons of woodland animals and even that of a whale, show us how important and “alive” this territory has always been. Archaeological remains and routes immersed in nature await you in the village of Cetona, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. The splendid medieval town will welcome you to the Belverde Archaeological Park and the Civic Museum for the Prehistory of Monte Cetona, showing you all its historical and natural riches. At the end of the experience you can savor the typical Tuscan flavors with a snack of bruschetta, pecorino and cured meats.
