The Crevole is a 16 km long river ( Torrente ) in the Tuscany region of Italy, which flows from north to south in the province of Siena in the municipality of Murlo and flows into the Ombrone as a right tributary shortly after La Befa (district of Murlo) .

course

The river rises in the hills just northeast of the castle ruins Castello di Crevole in the northern municipality of Murlo and flows from here to the southeast. It passes the districts of Lupompesi (291 m) and Vescovado (294 m) located below in the valley to the south-west and then flows further south and west past the Castello di Murlo castle , which gives the municipality its name . From there it goes further south, where shortly before Miniera di Murlo the Fosso dello Scanno flows in from the left . After the former operating buildings of the Miniera di Murlo mines (198 m), the river reaches the ruins of the Ponte Nero bridge (184 m, a former bridge of the mine railway, which has been replaced by a metal footbridge). The Crevole then passes the ruins of the Ponte di Miro bridge and flows further south through the Crevole valley ( Valle del Crevole ) to La Befa (also a district of Murlo, 151 m). Here it flows into the Ombrone as a right tributary not far from the Murlo train station .
