An evocative loop bike tour to discover Siena and its territory.

The route starts from the Medici Fortress, initially passing through the city. After a short stretch of state road we enter the rolling Sienese countryside in the direction of Monteroni d’Arbia.
Between ups and downs, we then return to the Medici Fortress, pedaling through the unique views of the famous Crete. Along the way you will encounter small lakes, farms and a few typical farmhouses.

The fatigue of some climbs is amply repaid by the spectacle of nature on offer.
