Magic nightride! Thnx for sharing this route. I started this ride anti clockwise 20.30hr in late June. Next to the great views over the lake at sunset it started to get dark when passing Liciano Niccone (So bring some good light with you) From there the last climb trough the forrest was pure magical. At both sides of the road the forest was full of fireflies. Quit some stunning experience!

Occasionally a pier with a lake view

Beautiful to make...very easy

fantastic trails to cycle

Lake Trasimeno Located in the northern part of Umbria, on the border with Tuscany, Lake Trasimeno is a true natural paradise. Italy's fourth-largest lake owes its name to an ancient legend: It is said that the ruthless Prince Trasimeno, son of the wise Etruscan King Tyrrhenian of Lydia, fell madly in love with the nymph Agilla and married her on the shores of the lake. But the wrath of the gods shamefully struck the young lovers: Even today, in the gentle breeze rippling the lake, one can hear in the distance the lament of the nymph Agilla, who is constantly searching for her lover swallowed by the waves. A poignant legend for a romantic place with its breathtaking landscapes and sunsets, its stone villages, its three islands—Maggiore, Minore, and Polvese—its traditional lace and fishing activities, and its typical flavors, from the excellent extra virgin olive oil to the Trasimeno beans and freshwater fish dishes like pan-fried fish. A place truly worth getting to know, with its history and culture, monuments and art spaces, relaxation and fun, immersed in the magnificent nature of the lake and the typical vegetation of the Mediterranean scrub.

Battaglia del Trasimeno The Battle of Trasimeno It was June 24, 217 BC, when the Roman army of consul Gaius Flaminius Nepos was trapped in a plain between the lake and the hills, surrounded by the army of the Carthaginian general Hannibal. The battle is one of the most important and dramatic clashes during the Second Punic War, fought in the third century BC between Rome and Carthage for supremacy over the Mediterranean. It is said that more than 15,000 Roman soldiers died there, their bodies burned in pits called ustrina. This is evidenced by the numerous artifacts found: coins, weapons, etc. In 1996, the municipality founded the "Permanent Documentation Center on the Battle of Trasimeno" in the immediate vicinity of the historic center. A series of panels depicts the entire Second Punic War and the battle itself, based on descriptions by Polybius and Livy.
