"la macchia della magona"
A sea of green spreading over 1,600 hectares, this protected natural area – once a timber reserve -
can be visited all year round and is an ideal holiday location for nature or sports enthusiasts.
There are sixteen routes for excursions on foot, horseback or mountain bike through 50 km of typically
Tuscan scenery, dense with Mediterranean vegetation.
There are broadleaf and pine woods on the plains and hills and along the ditches. Broom, holm-oak,
strawberry trees, maple and elm grow in the woods together with many shrubs typical of the Mediterranean
scrub, such as mastic, guelder rose and heather.
The Macchia della Magona is an ideal habitat for numerous animals - the wild boar, roe deer, fallow deer,
moufflon, hare, fox, porcupine, badger, squirrel and pine marten all make their home here, while snipe,
woodpigeon and buzzard are some of the migratory birds that stop to rest.
