Among the various itineraries proposed, I recommend the one that leads to the mouth of the Ombrone river. It is a very simple path that starts from Grand Ducal pine forest and crosses wide marshy expanses.
The circular path continues with a walkway on the marsh area, and then continues along the sea embankment until again entering the pine forest.
