Marmore Falls - Terni
Marmore falls are the most important attraction of this area. With
its three-jump drop of 540 feet, it is the highest waterfall in Europe.
It was artificially created by the Roman consul Manius Curius Dentatus
in 271 AC. |
Alviano oasis
Alviano oasis is a protected area which is run by the WWF and which is very rich
in flora and marsh fauna. It is an important shelter for migratory birds.
The oasis boasts well equipped paths for walking, spots which are especially
designed for bird watching and an audio-visual record office. |

Preserving nature |
The protection of the environment is one of the major concerns
of local institutions and also the most efficient way to respect
such a rich nature. That is why Alviano oasis and several parks that
cover a wide section of the province were created. |
|
The parks |
There are two regional parks: the Nera fluvial park and the Tevere
fluvial park, the former stretching along the Nera valley, from Ferentillo
to Marmore waterfall, the latter covering the area that, from Todi,
extends as far as Alviano oasis.
But there are other parks as well: Villalba park and Selva di Meana
park in the Allerona-Fabro area, the Elmo park, Mount Melonta park
and Sette Frati park which is set on Mount Peglia. |
|
Some more nature |
Valleys, hills, mountains, lakes, rivers, lush woodland along
with hundreds of vineyards and olive groves make this land exciting
and relaxing at the same time, since the gentleness of certain landscapes
alternates with the wildness of some others. |
