Overview

Dotted with medieval hamlets and quiet hermitages, the Umbrian hills are enchanting. A few kilometres are enough to find yourself immersed in nature, with centuries-old beech woods, deep caves and mountains steeped in ancient legends.
Water emerges in springs and mountain lakes; it flows in rivers, carving out striking stone canyons; it gathers in swamps and artificial basins, transforming them into natural oases.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Le Fonti del Clitunno, Via Flaminia 7, 06042, Campello sul Clitunno Italy

The Clitunno river’s springs have created a lake with very clear and emerald green waters. This water garden inspired poets such as Propertius, Pliny, Virgilio, Byron and Carducci.
Groundwater comes to the suface as several water springs, a few of which can be found on the lakebed.
The water mirrors intense and changing colours, is rich in rare vegetal species (phanerogams, horsetail, moss, aquatic nasturtium…) that create a luxuriant appearance of rare beauty. Its shores are surrounded by a thick vegetation, particularly weeping willows and poplars.
Their rare beauty has inspired painters, poets and writers since ancient times.

Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Spoleto, Spoleto, Province of Perugia, Umbria

Located in southeastern Umbria, Spoleto is one of the region's most fascinating art towns. Its wealth of history, varied cultural heritage and important arts events make it one of the tourist destinations most highly esteemed by visitors.
The historic center has maintained its medieval appearance, although traces of its Roman heritage are still visible.

Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: Cascata delle Marmore, Voc. Cascata, 30, 05100 Marmore, Terni Italy

The Marmore Falls: Among the highest in Europe, they were created by the Romans in 271 BC to drain the swamps around the Nera River: an engineering feat that has become one of the most spectacular natural attractions of Umbria.The vegetation along the entire course of water is luxuriant and flourishing, a mass of water that falls from a height of 165 metres: a breathtaking spectacle originated by nature's spontaneity and human intelligence. PLEASE NOTE: Most of the time, the water in the canals above the falls is diverted to a hydroelectric power plant. Out of the season the waterfall is only flowing on certain times in the weekend. In summertime the waterfall is turned on for a few hours every day, with additional times on holidays.

Mooie groene streek. Wel veel stijgen en dalen, ook in de steden. Bronnen van Clitunno: mooi waterlandschap met kleine bronnen helder water. Marmore-waterval: zeer mooi bij volle benutting. Hou er rekening mee dar deze waterval slechts enkele uren per dag in zijn volle pracht is. Spoleto: echte Italiaanse stad met aquaduct en Dom
