Dotted with medieval towns and silent hermitages, the Umbrian hills have just as much to offer as other regions that may be more famous. In Umbria you need only travel a few kilometers to discover places of unspoild wilderness, with centuries-old beech woods, deep caves, and mountains populated by ancient legends. And Umbria is also rich in water: it rises in springs and mountain lakes, runs in rivers that carve impressive rocky gorges, and broadens out into wetlands and man-made lakes that are magically transformed into nature reserves. Lake Trasimeno, the gentle fl owing of the Tiber, and the leaping falls of the Cascata delle Marmore all seem to have been created intentionally to inspire poets and painters. At the end of the journey, one thing is certain: Umbria has a true vocation for beauty. Umbria today, reinventing itself fashionable but without overdoing it, has much to offer visitors: sport, culture, museums, epicurean delights, healing waters, and musical events of international renown.
