Border crossing Poggio le Piane - Tuscany, Italy - Public Land Survey Marks on Waymarking.com

About the walk to the top:
The walk from Celle to the top of Poggio le Piane is a 4.5 hour round trip. In geocaching terms I would consider it a terrain 3.5 and when it rains it can be a T4, some spots T4.5 (lots of slippery rocks).
There are several very nice views on your way to the top and several spots to sit down.
The top of Poggio le Piane has a bordermarker showing 2 townships: Dicomano and Pontassieve.

Parking : N43.879037 E11.517445

Personal experience:
Getting to the top was not too difficult as there was no rain.... until the very last few 100 meters (through difficult terrain) it did start to rain and then to pour down hard. Not really recommended to do this one with this kind of weather.
