A trail connecting Casalguidi to the Montalbano ridge, reaching the village of Mungherino, from where exploration can continue towards San Baronto.

An itinerary for those seeking an outdoor walk that combines nature, exercise, and scenic beauty just steps from the town centre.

The CAI 815 trail is a medium-difficulty hiking route connecting the centre of Casalguidi to the locality of Mungherino on the Montalbano ridge. The route, 3.6 km one way, starts from Piazza Vittorio Veneto, the heart of the village, and unfolds over about 45 minutes through rural landscapes and hilltop views.

After taking Via Bucigattoli, the path follows a gradually ascending mule track immersed in vegetation. Beyond this first section, the trail continues along Via San Biagio. The route ends at Mungherino, where it meets CAI 800, which continues towards San Baronto, offering further exploration opportunities on the Montalbano.

Casalguidi

Casalguidi, fortified in 1181, was contested between the Lombards, Carolingians, and the Counts Guidi. It was destroyed in 1301 by the troops of Corso Donati and again in 1391 by John Hawkwood. It experienced a period of peace in the 15th century. The feuds between the Panciatichi and the Cancellieri ended only with Cosimo I, who subjected it to Serravalle.
