Holiday apartment in Borgonuovo: hiking trails, mountains and culture

Borgonuovo between trails, mountains and culture

The area around Caprese Michelangelo offers hiking and cycling routes. This means that the area around Borgonuovo provides specific themes for days spent between activity, landscape and culture. The trails include the CAI hiking route SI L03S and the western section of the Via di Francesco. These trails are complemented by several mountains, a monastery, museums, a palace and a regional product.

The CAI hiking route SI L03S

The CAI hiking route SI L03S starts in Caprese Michelangelo and leads through old chestnut and beech forests to the Eremo della Casella. The old chestnut and beech forests give the route a distinct landscape character. When planning a day of hiking, the route connects a starting point, a forest section and a fixed destination.

The Via di Francesco through Caprese Michelangelo

The western section of the Via di Francesco from La Verna to Anghiari passes through Caprese Michelangelo. For hiking plans, the section extends beyond Caprese Michelangelo and connects the town with La Verna and Anghiari. Unlike the SI L03S, the Via di Francesco does not start in Caprese Michelangelo; instead, it passes through the town on the route from La Verna to Anghiari. This results in two different connections to the town, each with its own starting point for hiking plans.
