[QUOTE="J.Patrick, post: 1189337, member: 61382"] [SIZE=7][B]Monteriggione — Oct 10[/B][/SIZE] This morning began in a dense fog. We were told that the warm days can create foggy morning conditions. It was the perfect beginning, though, for our trail choice leaving the town. One option is shorter, but urban street walking. The other, apparently newer choice, not included in our guidebook, but suggested by the Sloways app, is to follow the Elsa river path. We ran out of adjectives to describe how beautiful it was along the Elsa. If it has rained recently, though, you won’t be able to get through, as you have to hop from rock to rock several times along the way. A very pleasant walk through gradually climbing farmland and deep forest led us, to the Castle Pietraio, now serving as a hotel, but deserving of the briefest peak. Then, just before Monteriggione, we came to the well restored abbey, Abbadia in Isola (“Abbey on the Island”). The swamp that used to surround it is gone, but the abbey is still there (no monks) and still welcoming pilgrims. At the end of the day we had a stiff uphill climb to Monteriggioni, a marvelous preserved castle but very small. It doesn’t take any more than an hour, and perhaps less to see the entire charming place. [/QUOTE]
