October reminds to a more relaxed lifestyle, trips to do without stress and destinations to visit with a bit of curiosity.
So we recommend you a successful event, the Train Nature, that starts just on this month: 8 slow tourism itineraries in the heart of Senese countryside; the first event will be on Sunday 13th October at Vivo d’Orcia, a town completely surrounded by chestnut woods, where there will be the feast of porcino mushroom.
The departure will be in Siena at 9:00 am and the first stage is Monte Antico, in Crete Senesi area, then the itinerary includes Parco della Valdorcia and Torrenieri, where a bus will take you to Vivo d’Orcia, where you can visit the castle or join a guided tour through the woods.
The schedule of Train Nature includes another meeting on 20th October at Abbadia San Salvatore, the venue of Autumn Festival; who will want to have a lunch at the restaurant can join the pick chestnuts, while during the afternoon there will be the visit to the Mining Museum and the Abbey, with return to Siena at 6:40 pm. Catch a vintage train means to choose a slow travel full of emotions, an experience that invites to enjoy the landscape and feel the mood of these Medieval towns, venues where the time isn’t passed.
The trips on the steam trains will continue until 15th December, reservation is always required because seats are limited.
