Walking, pedaling, and even breaking a sweat along our unpaved roads, harboring a secret hope of getting lost, is a purifying experience, freeing you from the constraints of modernity. Rather than roads, these are more like nature paths, winding their way through green areas, branching off into the forests and through vineyard rows and olive groves. Some will lead you quite far away, brushing the edge of the Chiana area, or looking out toward the Val d'Orcia, connecting you and your present-day experience with the via Francigena’s centuries of history. Others, after winding around a bit, will lead you up a hill, or perhaps down to a wine cellar, or into the outskirts of a town: no matter what, though, they’ll always leave you with the delightful sensation of having made a new discovery.
