Located in the northern part of Umbria, on the border with Tuscany, Lake Trasimeno is a real natural paradise. The fourth largest lake in Italy, it owes its name to an ancient legend about Prince Trasimeno and his love for the nymph Agilla. Compared by Lord Byron to “a silver veil”, over the centuries the lake has charmed countless poets, painters and travelers. The Regional Park is characterized by a humid area, where, among lush reeds one can observe wild ducks, cormorants, kites and kingfishers. In fact, the lake has always represented an important wintering, resting and breeding area for aquatic birds and a perfect habitat for fish species to reproduce.
Place of enchanting beauty, Lake Trasimeno offers various possibilities both from a historical, artistic and naturalistic point of view. Breathtaking views and small villages such as Passignano and Castiglione del Lago, where time seems to have stopped.
