This charming nature trail, about 600 m long, starts from the Green Power Garden, then – following the river – reaches the water intake on the Maresca stream. The old artificial canal, running on the side of the route, served the purpose of powering the ironworks at Pontepetri, dating to the 18th century and decommissioned in 1978. This area is also ideal for taking a delightful walk in the midst of nature. You can use its tables, benches and barbecues so that it becomes a perfect place for an outdoor picnic.

Valdibrana
A small hamlet of Pistoia, known for its railway station along the Porrettana line and its launch track. Nearby is the Sanctuary of the Madonna of Valdibrana, built in 1650 on the site of a small oratory that, since the late 14th century, had housed a miraculous image of the Virgin.
Scaffaiolo Lake
The Scaffaiolo Lake is a mountain lake located in the municipality of Fanano, in the province of Modena, nestled in the upper Modenese Apennines. Its location and characteristics make it a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts. The name "Scaffaiolo" is believed to derive from the Lombard word scaffa, which translates as "hollow in the ground" or "depression." This name reflects the area's geomorphological features that shape the lake’s surroundings—an area characterized by gentle depressions and mountain ridges.

Villa Puccini di Scornio
Known as "Villon Puccini," this neoclassical villa was frescoed in the first half of the 18th century by the finest painters of the Florentine court. At its peak, it spanned 123 hectares and boasted one of the largest and most beautiful Italian-style gardens of its time.
