Italy: Lake Trasimeno (Umbria)
Umbria is the only region on the Italian boot without a sea. But it does have Lake Trasimeno. The undulating hills are criss-crossed by a network of almost 3000-year-old paths.
On the map, Lake Trasimeno resembles Bavaria's Lake Chiemsee: almost round, with three islands floating in the water and a motorway running along its northern shore. However, Lake Trasimeno does not border an alpine mountain range like Lake Chiemsee. Lake Trasimino lies in a bed of rolling hills. "Don't be fooled!" Silvia grins and I feel caught out, although I haven't even spoken my thoughts yet. "The climbs up these hills" - Silvia draws inverted commas in the air with both index fingers - "are pretty tough."
