Description
The chapel of Santa Maria di Vitaleta is located in Tuscany, Italy, Europe. It is situated in the middle between Pienza and San Quirico d'Orcia in the world famous Val d'Orcia. The chapel is not to be found in a town, no, it is located on a farm besides a farm house. Normally most tourists take photos with a huge zoom from a distance of at least 500 m and they park at the side of a road. But we had decided to walk to the chapel itself,
So, first we drove over a very bad "road" through fields for about 2-3 km, then we parked our car and still walked about 700 m to 1000 m along of blooming red flowers until we reached the backside of the little chapel. This walk I will never forget. It was just fantastic! BY the way. The photographers usually walk directly into the surrounding fields and so the wheat is really damaged a lot. But this scenary is so famous that you won't be able to avoid this :-)
