Fiume Tescio

The upper part of Fiume Tescio extends across 82 hectares of natural terrain, featuring diverse aquatic ecosystems and woodland corridors along its banks.

The Italian Ministry of Environment designated Fiume Tescio as a Special Area of Conservation in 2014, integrating it into the European Natura 2000 network.

Local communities along Fiume Tescio maintain traditional agricultural practices while adhering to environmental protection measures established by the Umbria region.

Visitors can access the river section between Pian della Pieve in Assisi and Case Torre in Nocera Umbra through designated nature trails.

The river supports rare butterfly species and native fish populations, including the Mediterranean trout and black goby in its seasonal water flows.
