Itinerario percorribile privo o con scarsa segnaletica e non perfettamente sgombro da vegetazione<\/strong><\/p>\n

Breve ma interessante passeggiata da collegare possibilmente alla visita della ottocentesca miniera di Rame e ovviamente allo straordinario borgo medievale. Si parte proprio davanti ai resti del principale pozzo di estrazione della miniera, Pozzo Alfredo, la cui torre domina l\u2019area mineraria e offre una delle viste pi\u00f9 spettacolari della Val di Cecina. La storia del borgo medievale di Montecatini Val di Cecina \u00e8 legata alla sua Miniera di Rame che ha dato il nome ad una delle maggiori industrie del XX\u00b0 secolo: la Montecatini S.p.A. divenuta poi Montedison. Gli Etruschi furono i primi a sfruttare le abbondanti risorse naturali di questa zona. Il complesso Minerario, racconta la storia degli uomini, la loro laboriosit\u00e0 e la loro intraprendenza. Il borgo minerario, ristrutturato ed ancora oggi in parte abitato, arricchisce di fascino la visita che acquista una suggestione unica durante l\u2019apertura notturna.<\/p>\n

La passeggiata arricchisce la visita della miniera e ci porta ad osservare un opera di straordinaria bellezza, la diga del Muraglione, costruita nel 1856 per le esigenze della miniera ma mai utilizzata. La diga \u00e8 rientrata in un progetto di valorizzazione di sei dighe storiche d\u2019Italia.<\/p>\n

Gran parte in mezzo alla vegetazione e con punti panoramici verso il mare e la valle, l\u2019itinerario \u00e8 in ogni momento dell\u2019anno una passeggiata da non perdere alla portata di tutti.<\/p>\nDownload GPX<\/a>Download KML<\/a>","modified":"2019-04-10T12:11:21","noDetails":false,"noInteraction":false,"imageGallery":[{"src":"https:\/\/valdicecinaoutdoor.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Montecatini-VC-Panorama-ok-768x511.jpg","id":2274,"caption":""},{"src":"https:\/\/valdicecinaoutdoor.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/IMG_20170309_105904-ok-768x432.jpg","id":2271,"caption":""},{"src":"https:\/\/valdicecinaoutdoor.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Montecatini-VC-Miniera-Pozzo-Alfredo-3-ok-768x511.jpg","id":2268,"caption":""}],"image":"https:\/\/valdicecinaoutdoor.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Montecatini-VC-Panorama-ok-768x511.jpg","taxonomy":{"webmapp_category":[36]},"accessibility":{"mobility":{"check":false,"description":""},"hearing":{"check":false,"description":""},"vision":{"check":false,"description":""},"cognitive":{"check":false,"description":""},"food":{"check":false,"description":""}},"locale":"it","source":"https:\/\/valdicecinaoutdoor.it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/track\/1199","wp_edit":"http:\/\/valdicecinaoutdoor.it\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=1199&action=edit","translations":{"en":{"id":4753,"name":"The Museum and the Ancient Mine in Montecatini","web":"https:\/\/valdicecinaoutdoor.it\/en\/the-museum-and-the-ancient-mine-in-montecatini\/","source":"https:\/\/valdicecinaoutdoor.it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/track\/4753","description":"

A brief but interesting walk that may be combined with a tour of the 19th century copper mine and, of course, the extraordinary Medieval hamlet. The walk starts near the entrance of the main shaft of the mine, Pozzo Alfredo, whose tower dominates the mining area and offers one of the most spectacular views of the Val di Cecina. The history of the Medieval town of Montecatini Val di Cecina is tied to its copper mine and gave its name to one of the most important enterprises of the 20th<\/sup> century, the Montecatini S.p.A., which later became Montedison. The Etruscans were the first to exploit the abundant natural resources of this area. The Mining complex tells the story of the men involved, of their hard work, and of their enterprising spirit. The mining town, rebuilt and partially still inhabited, increases the allure of the view, which becomes uniquely evocative during nighttime openings.<\/p>\n

The walk will enhance your visit to the mines and will lead you to explore a work of extraordinary beauty: the Muraglione dam, built in 1856 to cater to the needs of the mine but was never used. The dam is part of a project to promote the value of historical dams throughout Italy.<\/p>\n

Mostly deep in vegetation, with panoramic views towards the sea and the valley, the itinerary is a walk, unforgettable in any season and suitable for all.<\/p>\n"}},"web":"https:\/\/valdicecinaoutdoor.it\/track\/il-museo-e-lantica-miniera-di-montecatini\/","color":"","from":"","to":"","ref":"","ascent":62,"descent":-62,"distance":0.9580888244372208,"duration:forward":"","duration:backward":"","cai_scale":"T","id_pois":[1193,1195,1198,1194,1196,1197],"related":{"poi":{"related":[1193,1195,1198,1194,1196,1197]}},"ele:from":511,"ele:to":511,"ele:min":496,"ele:max":541},"geometry":{"type":"LineString","coordinates":[[10.736317096309,43.391697641389,511],[10.736308610067,43.391709253192,511],[10.736243901774,43.391659380868,511],[10.736169135198,43.391563743353,496],[10.736111383885,43.391524013132,496],[10.736054051667,43.391517139971,496],[10.735937878489,43.39151378721,496],[10.735903009772,43.391514457762,496],[10.735832350329,43.391508171335,496],[10.735781723633,43.391517475247,496],[10.735732270405,43.391534658149,496],[10.735607463866,43.39156399481,496],[10.735467653722,43.39155016467,505],[10.735399341211,43.391515631229,505],[10.735314851627,43.391492916271,505],[10.735294986516,43.391485959291,505],[10.735186608508,43.391506327316,505],[10.73514922522,43.391540525481,505],[10.735121397302,43.391591738909,505],[10.735098430887,43.391648149118,515],[10.7351042144,43.391684107482,515],[10.735085774213,43.391754766926,515],[10.735079320148,43.391769854352,515],[10.735014025122,43.39182366617,515],[10.734920650721,43.391865491867,515],[10.734792826697,43.391917878762,515],[10.734687382355,43.391915280372,515],[10.73458654806,43.391914945096,515],[10.73445587419,43.391898768023,515],[10.734423939139,43.391908658668,515],[10.734141468717,43.391997723638,525],[10.733965699956,43.392068214668,525],[10.73383519426,43.392133042216,525],[10.733840726316,43.392025250942,525],[10.733858663589,43.392006475478,525],[10.733860339969,43.39200287126,525],[10.733794206753,43.391943359748,525],[10.733761014417,43.391911005601,525],[10.733630089089,43.391799358651,525],[10.733622796834,43.391794329509,525],[10.733491033316,43.391784522682,525],[10.733456835151,43.391787707806,525],[10.733419284225,43.391797263175,525],[10.733338831699,43.391737520448,525],[10.733302771881,43.391711358269,525],[10.733294465838,43.391704688033,525],[10.733165727765,43.39160130388,516],[10.733014182955,43.391537433778,524],[10.732946876273,43.391527543132,524],[10.732521829963,43.391454620575,524],[10.73251244612,43.391481935978,524],[10.73293749243,43.391554858536,524],[10.733004799113,43.391564749181,524],[10.733156343922,43.391628619283,516],[10.733285081995,43.391732003436,525],[10.733293388039,43.391738673672,525],[10.733329447857,43.391764835851,525],[10.733353151008,43.391793575138,525],[10.733370585367,43.391820564866,525],[10.733424397185,43.391951574013,525],[10.733459936455,43.392070177943,525],[10.733389612287,43.392154835165,525],[10.733374357224,43.392256926745,525],[10.733335046098,43.392379134893,525],[10.73331836611,43.392429845408,525],[10.733243443815,43.392478594203,525],[10.733252697063,43.392592615079,541],[10.733305038884,43.39278624393,541],[10.733323981985,43.392798649147,541],[10.733306379989,43.392860675231,541],[10.733289616182,43.392920773476,541],[10.733298417181,43.392924964428,541],[10.733322054148,43.392974669114,541],[10.733313504606,43.393008112907,541],[10.733314678073,43.393011298031,541],[10.733315935358,43.393051950261,541],[10.73333051987,43.393091093749,541],[10.733338901773,43.393091931939,541],[10.733409142122,43.393092770129,541],[10.733485480915,43.393109550767,541],[10.733545012772,43.393025547266,541],[10.733610982422,43.392948770302,541],[10.733617642487,43.39294673777,541],[10.7336239703,43.392944158986,541],[10.733713656664,43.392893197015,541],[10.733828572556,43.39282262139,541],[10.733867464587,43.392801247537,541],[10.73391306214,43.392778700218,541],[10.733922533691,43.392745340243,541],[10.733957067132,43.39271181263,541],[10.733944997191,43.392705023289,541],[10.734012974426,43.392686834559,541],[10.73408019729,43.392627239227,541],[10.734129231423,43.392560854554,541],[10.734176002443,43.392533026636,525],[10.734202908352,43.39253956452,525],[10.734261330217,43.392501678318,525],[10.734363170341,43.392451722175,515],[10.734482277185,43.392396317795,515],[10.734612280503,43.392336051911,515],[10.734774419672,43.39231267212,515],[10.734886201099,43.392290789634,515],[10.734905228019,43.39231451042,515],[10.734934313223,43.392308894545,515],[10.735030202195,43.392287772149,515],[10.735152242705,43.392304619774,515],[10.735263805836,43.392277127132,515],[10.735299428925,43.39224435389,515],[10.735302530229,43.392213927582,515],[10.735336309299,43.392205629498,515],[10.73536824435,43.392184171826,515],[10.7355154485,43.392114778474,515],[10.73557343334,43.392070597038,511],[10.735676614568,43.392028436065,511],[10.735783400014,43.39197948575,511],[10.735842827708,43.391964482144,511],[10.735947266221,43.391934223473,511],[10.736023457721,43.391918800771,511],[10.736142564565,43.391897762194,511],[10.73619754985,43.391882842407,511],[10.
