Trail of the Three pines
Tombolo Estate
The Tombolo Estate, extending over about 5,000 ha, covers the southern coast of the Park, between the river Arno and the Calambrone area. For centuries it was property of the Church, and until the late 19th century it was characterized by high and dry areas alternating with low and swampy ones. With the arrival of the Savoy's family the necessary reclamation works were implemented, the pine forests were planted and the road system was fixed.
The trail of the three pines in San Piero a Grado allows visitors to understand the different typologies of woody areas within the Park, both from the naturalistic point of view and through the memory of the ancient professions that for centuries have shaped the forest and allowed the locals to live, contributing to safeguard these environments until the present days.
