Lake Trasimeno Park

The park spreads across protected land encompassing the fourth largest lake in Italy along with three islands set within its waters. The landscape combines shorelines, wetlands, and wooded hillsides that span across several municipalities.

The protected area received official designation in 1995, marking a turning point for environmental conservation at the lake. This decision brought new rules for sustainable use and restoration of natural habitats.

Local fishermen shape the waterfront with traditional methods passed down through generations that define daily life around the lake. You often see them early morning with their boats, holding to techniques adapted specifically to these waters.

The park is accessible through five different municipalities, some positioned directly along the waterfront with information centers. Several entry points allow visitors to reach the lake from different locations.

Polvese Island houses an environmental research center that has conducted scientific studies of the lake for many years. This facility is an overlooked destination for those wanting to understand how the ecosystem functions.
