Umbria is a territory full of enchanting places, surrounded by nature and medieval villages. Let's go discover them together.
The highest peaks of the Umbrian-Marche Apennines do not exceed 1500 meters. The plains are therefore very limited and are generally determined by the river valleys: the Val Tiberina which runs through the region from north to south in the western part and the Umbrian valley in the eastern part. Unmistakable features of this landscape are the various regional parks, the numerous spas, and the Marmore Falls, a variety of morphological and landscape features that characterize this region with its various shades of green, and it is not by chance that it is called the "green heart of Italy" . A protected and protected environmental heritage.
