Montecatini Alto

Highlight • Settlement

Much better than down town
Montecatini Terme. Air, views, funicular, hiking and a classy hamlet with a one-of-a-kind clock tower from the 12th century AD.

August 30, 2021,Vom Campingplatz nach Montecatini alto, M. Terme und zurück

Highly recommended tour from Camping Belsito to Montecatini alto, down the Way of the Cross to Montecatini Terme. There, immerse yourself in the morbid charm of the old health resort and then take the funicular back to M. Alto.
Visit the place with watchful eyes, enjoy an ice cream or eat a pizza and the day was good.

Today, the temperature here was 34 degrees Celsius. We took the electric-powered, 1km-long cable railway, built in 1898, up the mountain. This ancient village at the top of the mountain is the origin of the settlement here. We walked around until we'd seen everything. The plant in picture 9 prefers to grow on walls or rocks, from which the capers …
