Sentiero della Bonifica
Highlight • Cycleway
The famous drainage works to reclaim the land, begun in the 16th century, completely turned the Val di Chiana into an important agricultural centre; and even today, its local economy is intimately tied to local produce, which you can observe by cycling through the roads of cheese and fruit, oil and wine. Between Arezzo and Chiusi, there are multiple ways of entering into the heart of an area that has to be thoroughly appreciated, to be lived in, recalling its history and its art, along the century-old waterways, letting yourself be tempted by the wonders of these lands which, apart from how they are usually considered, have a certain smell in the air, a perfume of their own true authenticity.
The Canale Maestro della Chiana’s cycle and pedestrian path which joins Arezzo to Chiusi is about 62 km long, and is equipped and protected for those who wish to travel slowly, either by bike or on foot. The ancient road used for both canal and lock maintenance is, in fact, a natural track without any height or level differences which makes it suitable for a family sporting tourism.

Pier near Borghetto on Lake Trasimeno
Highlight • Lake
Located in the northern part of Umbria, on the border with Tuscany, Lake Trasimeno is a true natural paradise.
Italy's fourth-largest lake owes its name to an ancient legend: It is said that the ruthless Prince Trasimeno, son of the wise Etruscan King Tyrrhenian of Lydia, fell madly in love with the nymph Agilla and married her on the shores of the lake.
But the wrath of the gods shamefully struck the young lovers: Even today, in the gentle breeze rippling the lake, one can hear in the distance the lament of the nymph Agilla, who is constantly searching for her lover swallowed by the waves.
A poignant legend for a romantic place with its breathtaking landscapes and sunsets, its stone villages, its three islands—Maggiore, Minore, and Polvese—its traditional lace and fishing activities, and its typical flavors, from the excellent extra virgin olive oil to the Trasimeno beans and freshwater fish dishes like pan-fried fish.
A place truly worth getting to know, with its history and culture, monuments and art spaces, relaxation and fun, immersed in the magnificent nature of the lake and the typical vegetation of the Mediterranean scrub.
