Municipality Radda in Chianti

OUTDOOR / TRAILS / RADDA IN CHIANTI

This small junction starts directly near the Vin Osteria in the hamlet of la Villa, in Radda in Chianti.

The trail passes through the last houses of the hamlet and the first cultivated fields of the nearby farms. After finishing the descent, it climbs rapidly in the direction of Canvalle, whose tower can be spotted from some distance away.

Having grazed the farm, the route continues, abandoning the road and entering the woods as a path. It will soon reach the small ridge road where the trail ends, connecting with route No. 306.
