Colfiorito park

Colfiorito Park extends across 338 hectares of wetlands, grasslands, and woodlands, featuring dense aquatic vegetation and diverse ecological zones at 800 meters elevation.

The area contains remains of Proto-Umbrian settlements, including Monte Orve with calcareous walls, and was recognized as a Roman municipium by 178 BCE.

Local farmers maintain traditional agricultural practices, cultivating wheat, fodder, lentils, and red potatoes while producing regional cheeses from dairy products.

The park provides wooden walkways through marshy areas, informational signs, parking facilities, and designated paths for hiking and bird watching activities.

The Molinaccio pit demonstrates natural water absorption from the moor, where vegetation grows in concentric belts supporting various migratory aquatic birds.
