Waterfall behind the Cappella di San Torello

Highlight • Waterfall

If you follow the stream a few meters uphill in the bend near the Chapel of San Torello, you can see several small waterfalls, at least during the wet season. Be careful when climbing; it can be slippery.

Holy Staircase of Vallombrosa

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

An ancient Grand Duke's road, dating back to the 18th century. Built by Grand Duke Peter Leopold of Lorraine to connect the Vallombrosa area to Casentino.
This first section, called the Scala Santa, connects the Abbey to Paradisino. Along its route are several chapels, where some of the ancient monks retreated to live as hermits in the Middle Ages.
