What a beautiful place. It's shady, and the small waterfall is very cool. The water is really cold. A great place to take a short break and cool off, with a wonderful ambient soundscape.

What a beautiful place. We only found one spot where you can pass through, but for bird protection reasons, you shouldn't walk along the embankment. You walk a lot around the lake on the shady paths. Unfortunately, you can't see anything from there because of the tall bushes. It's absolutely peaceful here. There's a little house with a lovely view of the lake.

At this point you have to take the path above the small stone building. Not clearly visible from the area below

I don't know if it's in use or not, but it certainly served a purpose once. It's more of a placeholder than a real tourist destination.

Was a bit disappointing because the lake was barely visible, you could only look at it from above. On the route along the lake there was 2 meters high vegetation that could not be seen or passed through.

After a short stretch of path you will find a fresh and good spring of water.

The Gherardesca lake is a small natural spring-fed body of water, what remains of the lake of Bientina (or Sesto), the largest lake in Tuscany until the mid-1800s, before this portion of territory was reclaimed by the will of Grand Duke Leopold II of Lorraine. At the foot of Monte Pisano, one of the most important wetlands in Tuscany, about 30 hectares have become a special protection area for the conservation of aquatic birds.
