The route starts from Parco Vivo in Vivo d’Orcia, coming across the ruins of an old hydraulic sawmill and walking on the water channels of the “Gorina”: two historical and cultural elements linked to the abundant presence of water. The route is enriched by a forest of chestnut trees, beeches and some conifers and embellished by the waters that flow to form, downstream of the ancient volcano, a suggestive waterfall that ends in the Scodellino lake. An interesting narrow path leads from the church of San Benedetto to the Capovetra spring.

The routes that enter the suggestive beech forest, among the largest in Europe, allow you to discover various points of landscape interest. The arrival at Capovetra Spring, with the recently renovated refuge of the same name next to it, allows for a short stop. On your return you can take the cart track to reach the starting point directly and more quickly.
