Farma River excursion

The green and fresh waters of the Farma flow clear, immersed in the lush forest of the Natural Reserve that has arisen along the riverbanks. Between Monticiano and Roccastrada, along the middle course of the watercourse, there are the so-called Canaloni del Farma, a series of pools carved into the rocks where it is possible to wade and recover from the summer heat. The first swimmable stretch you encounter consists of some natural pools carved by the water itself in a very rocky section that the Farma must face. Here it is possible to lay towels on smooth stones, beside the numerous small waterfalls, and make comfortable improvised seats in the giant's kettles, rock formations formed due to the swirling flow of the water, and enjoy the calm of the place and its beauty. Continuing along the path that led us to these first Canaloni, we arrive at another pool, large and beautiful green, with vegetation vainly trying to envelop it. In front of us, we see a small gravel beach.

The water is very fresh and certainly a bath is a natural invigorator! Surely in July and August the temperature will be more pleasant but in June the place is scarcely frequented.
