Leaving behind the charming historic centre of Città della Pieve, the route descends towards the valley of the Chiani stream and, passing through the village of Santa Maria, reaches Fabro Scalo.

From here, with a short detour, it is possible to climb up to the Rocca di Carnaiola, whose castle dates back to the year 1000. The itinerary then continues, crossing the stream and skirting a wooded area until reaching Ficulle, a typical medieval village where the castle and churches are certainly worth a visit.
