6 Pitigliano - Sovana - Saturnia - Manciano

Today we ride through the peaceful, beautiful tuff landscape in a constant up and down. The various traces of the Etruscans accompany us throughout the route. After the charming little village of Sovana, we pass by magnificent Etruscan tombs (and maybe 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 sink-like basins with warm water, where you can bathe for free. There are 2 long but never too steep climbs to tackle, accumulating almost 1,000 meters of elevation gain over the day. At the end, we reach the town of Manciano, which is, in contrast to the previous ones, unremarkable. But it has a nice local vibe and one of the best trattorias I know in Tuscany. And that’s where we will go to after the tour, completely deservedly!
