Relive the past and recharge your soul: archaeology and sensory immersion in the forest

Live a timeless experience in the magical Castelvecchio Nature Reserve, in San Gimignano. Immerse yourself in a landscape where nature and history intertwine in an embrace of pure beauty. Your journey begins with an easy trek along trails surrounded by Mediterranean scrub and oak woods, all of which tell tales of ancient times. You’ll marvel at the steep ravines carved into the limestone by ancient rivers, once the natural defence of the flourishing medieval fortified village that has since become a ghost town, now an archaeological site and a hidden corner of San Gimignano’s history. Your authorized guide will accompany you and provide insights into the archaeological site, which is not accessible on your own. You’ll still be able to admire the urban plot of the castle, remnants of towers, workshops, churches and mills. But the journey doesn’t end here: deep in the woods, you will experience an introduction to Forest Bathing, a sensory immersion that will rejuvenate you as the sounds of the forest and the scent of the earth bring you peace and serenity.

A unique experience that nourishes both body and soul, perfect for those seeking a journey that transcends tourism and becomes pure emotion!
