13 meters deep in such a tiny mirror!!!

Small artesian lake 15 meters deep and with a diameter of about 25 metres. There is a legend about the suggestive body of spring water. The story on the border between legend and mystery tells that the lake was formed following the fall into the abyss of a farmhouse of a greedy old farmer, named Chiarò, who on the day of Saint Anna, decided to thresh. It is said that Chiarò was not careful to observe the religious calendar and its holidays while his wife was a woman with a charitable soul. While the farmer was threshing together with his workers, his wife was warned by the voice of an angel that she had to flee because she would drown. While the farmhouse sank together with her husband, the woman ran away with her children in her arms. She realized she was being chased by the water and at that moment the angel appeared to her again and advised her to abandon her youngest son because as he grew up he would become greedy and stingy like his father. The woman managed to save herself and right where the child was abandoned the smaller lake called Aisillo took shape.

Sources of the Clitunno were, in Roman times, considered sacred springs, places of worship dedicated to the God Jupiter Clitunno, personification of the river of the same name, in whose name several small temples were built. In the 5th century AD a serious earthquake destroyed part of the Springs, reducing the huge original water supply. However, the Park took on its current appearance only in the second half of the nineteenth century, through the work of Count Paolo Campello della Spina, who reorganized the spaces, introduced animals into the Park and created the magical pond.

Tiny pond of natural origin... an oasis along the way

The Fonti del Clitunno are a naturalistic park in Umbria, in the municipality of Campello sul Clitunno. It is a small lake formed by the springs of the Clitunno river, surrounded by luxuriant vegetation and populated by various aquatic animals, such as swans, ducks and geese.

Beautiful Panorama and highly recommended this ring path that allows you to access a beautiful beech forest!
