Sentiero delle Burraie - Butter mills path

The Sentiero delle Burraie (butter mills path) is located inside the Natural Protected Area of Santa Brigida, in the municipality of Pontassieve.

The walking route features 16 km of elevation profile surrounded by greenery and has a total altitude difference close to 950 m.

It is an interesting trail combining naturalistic aspects with anthropomorphic and social aspects, discovering old mills used until the last century for the production of butter and dairy products. The routes are differentiated for different training levels, from easy and short ones to those for experienced walkers.

However, they all have a common thread: the discovery of butter mills, some beautifully restored, buildings that bear witness to rural life.

The path starts at the cemetery of Santa Brigida, where you can park and where you can find an explanatory sign.
