Siena walking tours
Feeling oneself at the center of the Universe, living the history.
The ring route of San Galgano - 1 day walking - easy
Starting from San Galgano, and arriving in San Galgano. this route will trace, on nice and
easy dirt roads, a path into history from the beautiful
Abbacy of San Galgano to the town of Chiusdino, whose
medieval village center is still perfectly intact.
After visiting the birthplace of Galgano Guidotti,
you’ll return via the other road to the Cistercense
Abbacy and the chapel of Montesiepi, where the famous
sword in the stone is to be found. Here you will also be
able to see the remains of the frescos by Pietro
Lorenzetti..
Why should one take a 17 Km walk?
In order to open ones mind and to leave space to the
imagination that the history and legend of these places
will take you.
The mysticism of the Abbacy will fascinate, its
immense spaces will make you feel small but also part of
the universe that you will perceive in these enchanted
places. You can almost hear the sound of horse hooves on
the trails, the echo of battles long past, of magic
swords.
One more thing.
Bring your children with you.
The excursion is easy and the history of the sword in
the stone will win them over.
