A spectacular yet relaxing steam train ride through the countryside south of Siena along an old rail line closed to traffic more than 20 years ago and reopened as a tourist railway for its high environmental and landscape value: it鈥檚 Tuscany鈥檚 Nature Train, running along the Asciano - Monte Antico lines, in the Val D'Orcia and Amiata Valley.
Riders can get off at different stations along the way and venture along trails, explore churches, villages and castles. The train ride can be combined with sports activities such as hiking and cycling, while chances to taste the local food and wine products abound as each itinerary on the Nature Train is combined with fairs, festivals and farmer鈥檚 markets.
A perfect way to enjoy 鈥渟low tourism.鈥
