Visit Gavorrano

The territory of the Metalliferous Hills in Maremma is naturally suited

slow tourism and soft mobility. This app which is part of a

wider project involving the paths of the whole territory

of the Metalliferous Hills Park which is part of the World Network of

UNESCO geoparks, offers the possibility to discover by walking or going

by bike or on horseback one of the most fascinating Tuscan landscapes and still

little known.

The project of the Municipality of Gavorrano and the Parco delle Colline

Metallifere, it was made possible thanks to funding from the RDP

2014-2020 LEADER METHOD Measure 7.4.2 and the G.A.L. FAR MAREMMA. The end

of the project is to make available to all those who

they want to discover the medieval villages, the cultural and geological heritage

and environment of this corner of Maremma. The app will be implemented and

continuously updated with all the usability services of the

territory that will gradually become fully operational. The Park of the Hills

Metallifere of which the Municipality of Gavorrano is part, was born from the will

not to disperse the history of mining and metallurgy

that have occurred in the area for more than three millennia and that

they have influenced the determination of their cultural landscape. There

safeguarding abandoned mining sites, integrated with significant resources

naturalistic and shining examples of architecture and art

medieval, abundantly existing in the area, make up the Hills

Metalliferous an itinerary for a different tourism. The leitmotif is

the rediscovery of the traces of the mines and the work underground, but

also the environmental value of the woods and wetlands and the great

relevance of the geological heritage represented by significant geosites

regional, national and international.
