In the pristine landscape of Mount Mugello, we can experience a\u00a0horseback riding away from civilization: on\u00a0hidden paths to\u00a0discover the wild landscapes of the Apennines, between ancient Roman artefacts and traces of boars, deer and even wolves. In the area you can organize daily hikes or multi-day tours, to discover all the hidden treasures.<\/p>\n

We discover to our horse riding Rosignano. It starts from Paoggio Pelato, at Le Serre and you arrive in the resort Steccaia. We walk 30 km, admiring the Apennines, the contours of the Apuan Alps, the Tuscan Archipelago, the Medicean castle of Rosignano Maritime and hilly landscapes.<\/p>\n

\"Suvereto\"<\/p>\n

Let’s start Cancellini Farm on the\u00a0bridle path\u00a0that immediately delves into the forests of oak and chestnut trees. The Horseback Trail passes close to a museum that depicts the life and customs of coal miners who worked in this area. The open landscapes of the surrounding valley and the metalliferous hills. After crossing the river Cornia, we dive through the olive groves and vineyards and among the marble quarries, some still active. Then we\u00a0pass through the villages of Suvereto and finally we reach the Montioni Park.<\/p>\n
