Discover Borgonuovo: Hiking Trails and Marrone DOP
Accommodation in Borgonuovo
When planning a trip to Borgonuovo, it is worth treating excursions and accommodation as separate planning questions. The Caprese Michelangelo area has hiking and cycling routes. One specifically named hike leads from Caprese Michelangelo to the Eremo della Casella; the timetable for route SI392 lists the Località BORGONUOVO stop.
Hiking trails with different points of reference
The CAI hiking route SI L03S starts in Caprese Michelangelo and passes through old chestnut and beech forests to the Eremo della Casella. This identifies both the start and end points and the types of forest along the route. If you are planning a day of hiking, you can consider whether the path to the Eremo and the forest landscape suit your interests. The route provides a specific point of reference among the area's general hiking and cycling routes.
The western route of the Via di Francesco offers a different perspective. It runs from La Verna to Anghiari through Caprese Michelangelo. While the SI L03S describes a route with a named start and destination, the Via di Francesco places Caprese Michelangelo along a route between two towns. For your planning, this answers a different question: would you like to explore a specific path to the Eremo della Casella or the course of the western Via di Francesco? These details concern different routes.
There are also cycling routes in the Caprese Michelangelo area. This general overview complements the specific information about the SI L03S, which describes a hiking route. If you are planning to cycle, check each route separately and choose a ride that suits your plans.
Marrone di Caprese Michelangelo
A regional product also gives the trip a specific theme: Marrone di Caprese Michelangelo has held the protected designation of origin DOP since 2009. If you are interested in regional products as well as trails, it offers a named point of interest. Chestnuts also feature in the descriptions of the forest types along the CAI route. This means you can consider hiking through old chestnut and beech forests and Marrone as a regional specialty as two separate themes when planning your trip.
