The trail connects the center of Vinci with Leonardo’s Birthplace in Anchiano. It begins on the north side of the village, along a paved road that runs beside the Mulino della Doccia, a mill mentioned by Leonardo da Vinci in the Codex Atlanticus. The path then climbs steeply, winding through vineyards and olive groves, and offers magnificent views of Vinci and the surrounding countryside.
The Strada Verde is the most well-known and historic trail in Vinci—once referred to as the Via Botanica. Along the route, visitors can explore the Acquaria art park, take a short detour to see the water intake of the Mulino della Doccia and visit the charming hamlet of Leano.
