The route from the locality Le Mugnanesi follows in a circular fashion along the shores of Lake Montepulciano. The lake is part of a nature reserve located a few kilometers east of Montepulciano, in the southern part of the Val di Chiana, close to the border with Umbria, which in addition to the entire body of water includes part of the Canale Maestro della Chiana and some adjacent farmland. Lake Montepulciano, together with the nearby and related Lake Chiusi, is a remnant of the vast marshland that occupied much of the Val di Chiana until the Medici era, and is now one of the most important wetlands in central Italy. The lake, which has a surface elevation of 249 m, covers an area of 190 ha with a depth of ca 5 m. At the end of the itinerary, there will be an opportunity to do some defatication and breathing exercises.

We will then continue until we enter the Parco del Vivo, immersed in a forest of beech and chestnut trees, where we will have the opportunity to visit the Ermicciolo di San Benedetto (rock church), the characteristic 'seccatoi' or rather, according to some experts, the first inhabited nucleus of Vivo d'Orcia and the springs of the Vivo.
