Around us: Nature

Everchanging, untouched landscapes in the green of winding valleys make Umbria a region that will never fail to amaze.

This region comprises mainly hills, mountains, hollows and plains and extends along the Tiber’s central basin. At the heart of the boot, it is the only region with no coastline.

It includes Lake Trasimeno, central Italy’s largest lake.

The area still has the remains of Etruscan settlements, particularly around Castiglione del Lago, where the loveliness of the natural landscape combines with the romanticism and stillness of the lake.

Moving on from the two lakes, we come to the Cascate delle Marmore waterfalls near Terni, some of the most beautiful in Europe.

The waters dive into the River Nera with a spectacular 165 m (541 ft) drop, and are surrounded by lush vegetation.

This is the spot for sports lovers who enjoy canoeing, kayaking, and not only.
