Cycling Holiday

For all the people who love riding a bike, Lake Trasimeno with its flat territory and its roads with little traffic, represents the ideal destination for an enjoyable and relaxing holiday very close to nature. One of the great adventures for the body, senses, and emotions, which can be experienced around the lake throughout the year, with the changing colours and moods of the season, is biking along the great bike path   around the lake. Riding through this area is a fantastic experience, you will admire  the beauty of the  countryside and  the picturesque stretches of shore land, consisting of bike paths for long stretches and partly of regular roads.

The bicycle path which goes around the lake and is accesible from our campsite,too. . It is possible to ask  the reception desk for a detailed bicycle map.

Between Castiglione del Lago and Tuoro sul Trasimeno you will cross an area of high natural and environmental interest. You'll pass then through Borghetto, towards Tuoro sul Trasimeno, alternating the lovely bike path with short stretches on a regular road that will take you  through the villages. From Passignano to Torricella, time goes by so fast  and almost without realizing it, you'll find yourself  near Magione, in beautiful area between the lake and low hills covered with olive trees  and dotted with old farmhouses. You will reach then Monte del Lago and shortly afterwards Castello di Zocco, where you will  take  the main street. From San Feliciano, an old fishing village, you will reach “Oasi della Valle”, a nature centre run by the Italian environmental conservation association “Legaambiente” where it is possible to observe the lake ecosystem in its numerous aspects. Going along the panoramic trunk road, you will  go trough the village of Sant’Arcangelo.Then you can  decide whether to head on directly to Castiglione del Lago or to take a longer route that passes  through Casalini, macchie and Sanfatucchio, little farming villages built on small hilltops.

Holiday on foot or Trekking

For all the people who love walking during their holiday, we suggest at a short distance from the camping to walk through the places where the Trasimeno’s Battle between Hannibal and Romans took place. You can either walk or go  by bicycle, or partly by car  if you wish to reach the places, where the Battle  took place on 24th Juny 217 B.C between the Roman army led by Flaminio and the Carthaginian army led by Hannibal. The main Hypothesis places the event between Monte Gualandro and Montigeto, to be more precise on the basin of Tuoro sul Trasimeno. Several researchers have tried to reconstruct the map numbering each place where the Battle took place. .
