The Great Ring of Orentano
A marked ring of almost 20 km between Orentano, Villa Campanile, Galleno and the Via Francigena.
The Great Ring of Orentano is a circular route of almost 20 kilometers, marked with CAI-style arrows, connecting Orentano, Villa Campanile, and Galleno, passing through the Via Francigena and its historic paving.
It ideally starts from the Orentano bell tower and you walk through woods, farmsteads, and the springs of the area — Fonte del Sasso, Fonte di Pierdo, Fonte del Leone, and Fonte del Ghiandone — also touching upon the Orentano museum and the area of Roman and Etruscan excavations towards Bientina (Ponte ai Gini).
The ring is doable in a peaceful day's walk, but it also lends itself to shorter sections starting from Orentano, Villa Campanile, or Galleno. Comfortable shoes, water in summer: it's the best way to truly see the area.
