Gambassi Terme is crossed by ancient medieval streets, such as the Francigena and the Via del Sale, traveled by pilgrims and traders for centuries.
In the saddle of comfortable bicycles with pedal assistance we will cover some sections, on old paving stones still well preserved, admiring breathtaking views and glimpses of the beautiful Tuscan hills, encountering the ruins of ancient places of worship.
