The Path of Wool and Silk

From Bologna to Prato, through the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines,

among paths full of history, wild nature and ancient traditions

Discover

The Via della Lana e della Seta is a 130 km route between Emilia and Tuscany, a particularly wild hiking itinerary where nature, history and genuine Apennine hospitality follow one another.

From Bologna to Prato you will encounter villages with a strong identity, horses that run free and wild on ridge prairies, places of memory and life stories, thick forests and wide valleys that, stage after stage, will leave you with the pure and wild spirit of these lands.
From one side to the other you can also discover the world of industrial archaeology and water, engines of centuries of industrious history and tradition.
