The program provides for the departure at 9:30 am from the Gragnone bus terminal, near the famous “botteghina” (little shop), from which you start on foot passing beside the “Villa Albergotti” to cross the route of the old railway built between 1882 and 1886 to connect Arezzo to Umbria.
Will be visited the old tunnels and viaducts still viable (the others were destroyed by the Germans retreating in June 18^th 1944).
The route goes up to Torrino station, before falling back down to “Villa I Bossi“.
At lunch will be a stop to eat a packed lunch.
The route winds of about 11 km immersed in nature and involves the passage on paths and in dark and muddy tunnels, so are recommended so non-slip shoes and a flashlight.
