To the south lie rolling hills, lined with cypresses and topped by medieval towns. To the east are snow-capped mountains and the dense forests of the Casentino. To the north lie the vineyards of Chianti and to the west the mysterious lands of the Etruscans. For the Walker, there are the added benefits of well-marked routes, well-tended bars, great food and the thrill of discovering artistic treasures in even the most isolated hamlets. • A UNIQUE WALKING GUIDE ON POCKETABLE CARDS Here's a great twist to the walking guide: instead of a book, a stylish box filled with walking cards.
