The bathing lakes

Trasimeno Lake: Lake Trasimeno is a tectonic lake in the province of Perugia, in the Umbria region, has an area of 128 km², the largest lake in central Italy, fourth among the lakes in Italy immediately after Lake Como; this extension, however, is accompanied by a shallow depth (average 4.3 m, maximum 6 m), which makes it classified as a laminar lake.

Corbara Lake: Lake Corbara is an artificial lake in central Italy, formed with the construction in the 1960s of the hydroelectric basin of the same name on the Tiber River. It takes its name from the hamlet of Corbara, a locality in the municipality of Orvieto. Characterized by jagged banks that stretch into a deep and narrow gorge that creeps almost as far as Todi (Forello gorge), it is bordered on the left bank by the state road 448. It is part, together with the surrounding territories, of the Tiber River Park, protected natural area of Umbria. (Read more)
Piediluco Lake: Piediluco lake is located in central Italy: on its shores stands the village of Piediluco, a fraction of Terni. Located in the south-eastern offshoots of Umbria, with a branch that borders on Lazio, the Piediluco lake, even if with a width of 1.85 km², is the largest natural lake basin in the region after the Trasimeno. The name seems to be able to be interpreted as “at the foot of the sacred wood”. Together with the Lungo, Ripasottile and Ventina lakes located in the province of Rieti, it represents one of the remains of the ancient Lacus Velinus, a large basin of alluvial origin which formed starting from the Quaternary.

Ecco gli altri belli da visitare

Recentino Lake: it is a small reservoir of artificial origin created with the damming of the Aia stream and fed by a derivation of the Nera River. It is located in Umbria, in the province of Terni, in the territory of the municipality of Narni and is also known as Lake Narni. It has a maximum reservoir volume of around 2 million m³, constantly decreasing due to the burial of the upstream area where the torrent flows, which over the years has contributed a lot of debris. The wet environment of the lake is of particular interest due to the presence of migratory birds. (Read more)

The area has an area of about 900 hectares, which mainly fall within the territory of the Madonna del Porto hamlet, in the municipality of Guardea (where the entrance to the oasis is located), but which also extend partly in the municipalities of Alviano, Montecchio and Civitella d’Agliano.

Arezzo Lake: The lake of Arezzo is a small artificial basin located in Umbria, 400 meters above sea level, between the province of Terni and the province of Perugia, between the Martani mountains, along the provincial road 418 that leads from Acquasparta to Spoleto. It is also known as “Firenzuola lake”, from the name of the town that dominates it. It was formed around the sixties by the damming of the Maroggia stream. (Read more)
Aiso Lake: near Bevagna, among the green fields, peeks out the Aiso, a small circular lake that has aroused interest and suggestions since ancient times. In the topographical maps and official documents of the area, the lake also appears as Abyss or Abyss to indicate the mystery of a hidden, elusive reality and the inscrutability of its deep waters, which are difficult to reconcile with the very small surface. More precisely, it is a resurgence of great hydrographic and naturalistic value, which is why it is included among the sites of significant community interest (SIC) (Read more)
