The Balze (cliffs) are rock formations visible in several municipalities between Florence and Arezzo: Castelfranco di Sopra, Regello, Pian di Scò to name a few. Were formed, as happened in Bryce Canyon in Utah, sediment deposited by a lake in the Pliocene and Pleistocene, about 20 km long, which occupied the current Valdarno.
Castelfranco there are two paths for walking: The path of the ditch and the water zolfini. Together they form an almost ring, which we would take approximately an hour and a half.
Between the two that held the best way is zolfini water, the other in some places the grass is high and there are many insects (at least when we were us).
