The Montioni Natural Park extends between the Val di Cornia and the Metalliferous Hills, touching the municipalities of Suvereto, Massa Marittima, Follonica and Campiglia Marittima. It is a protected area of over 7,000 hectares where holm oaks, cork oaks, paths and historical traces coexist in a silent and little-frequented landscape, ideal for those looking for authentic nature and tranquility. 🌳 Dense forests and lonely paths: The park is crisscrossed by a dense network of hiking trails and mountain bike trails that wind through hills, clearings and Mediterranean scrub. Walkers will find here a cool and shady environment, perfect even in the hottest months, with well-marked tracks suitable for all levels. 👉 Tip: Follow the Poggio Saracino loop for an immersive excursion through nature and coastal views. ⛏️ Historical traces and industrial archaeology: Inside the park there are the remains of the ancient mining village built by Elisa Bonaparte, Napoleon's sister, in the nineteenth century.
