6 Pitigliano - Manciano

Today we ride through the quiet, beautiful tuff landscape with constant ups and downs. The diverse traces of the Etruscans accompany us throughout the entire route. After the charming little village of Sovana, we pass magnificent Etruscan tombs (and may take a quick peek inside) and after some elevation gain we reach the warm springs of Saturnia, which are worth a bath in any weather. A small waterfall has created travertine-like pools with warm water, where you can bathe for free. There are 2 long but never too steep climbs to tackle, summing up to almost 1,000 meters of elevation gain over the day. At the end we reach the town of Manciano, which, unlike the previous ones, is unspectacular. But it has a nice character and one of the best trattorias I know in Tuscany. And that’s exactly where we’ll go, well deserved, after the ride!
