An easy climb on the road that connects Valdera to Val di Cecina, at the top of which is the village of Miemo, a former fortress of considerable importance in the events of Tuscany until the 15th century. It begins with a falsopiano of about 3 km that follows the course of the Sterza stream, the only stretch where the view is open to the surrounding countryside. The climb proper, at 3/4%, winds entirely through the woods; once at the top, you can turn for the village, where you can admire the castle and church, or descend into the Cecina Valley, along a descent that offers several interesting views. I recommend arriving at the climb having already filled your water bottles, since for several kilometres you will not have the opportunity to do so.
Salita facile sulla strada che collega la Valdera alla Val di Cecina, alla cui sommità si trova il borgo di Miemo, ex fortezza di notevole rilevanza nelle vicende della Toscana fino al XV secolo. Si inizia con un falsopiano di circa 3 km che segue il corso del torrente Sterza, unico tratto in cui la visuale è aperta sulla campagna circostante. La salita vera e propria, al 3/4%, si snoda interamente nel bosco; una volta in cima si può svoltare per il borgo, dove ammirare il castello e la chiesa, o scendere in Val di Cecina, lungo una discesa che offre diversi scorci interessanti. Consiglio di arrivare alla salita avendo già riempito le borracce, visto che per diversi chilometri non se ne avrà più l'occasione.
