The main attraction of the day is certainly the arrival point, Lucca which you reach via the Park of the Serchio river. Take a walk on the oval-shaped town walls, visit the Duomo not forgetting “il Volto Santo” an impressive, wooden sculpture created by Nicodemus, that arrived in Lucca by miracle on a boat without sailors, as the legend goes.
After the first 6 km of trafficless asphalt, the whole itinerary is on unpaved roads or trails. The oak woods of the initial part give away to vineyards in the second part. Along the road, you can visit two interesting churches, Pieve di Coiano and S. Maria a Chianni just before arriving in Gambassi.
A short day among Chianti vineyards to allow for time in the town of towers, one of the most famous places in Tuscany. it is pleasant to see the town in the evening or early morning when the busloads of tourists have not yet invaded it.

Fairly long day in a beautiful landscape. The round walls of the historical fortified military post are amazing. Very interesting the parish church of Abbadia Isola
Again a short segment to allow time in Siena. Apart from the pleasant countryside, there is nothing remarkable along the road. The route is unpaved almost to the arrival in Siena. The clou of the day is the ice cream you will have at a cafe on the Piazza del Campo watching people go by...
See you next year to walk together the next stage
