VAL DI MERSE
A swim in nature
Tuscany on foot
half day / full day
Val di Merse, a magical place where man has always had an important connection with nature and its rivers.
In these woods is easy to find old charcoals, the remains of ancient mills and iron factories. History and nature intertwine and the forest still hides remains of castles, isolated from the world, built to protect what was most precious: water - the real driving force of everyday life, as shown by the remnants of the milling industry in Val di Merse.
Nowadays it is still the water that attracts visitors to the natural reserve offering fresh shelter from hot summers to those wishing to swim in the clean Merse river.
