Campings Trasimeno Lake

Lago Trasimeno in short

Lake Trasimeno is located in the municipality of Perugia in Umbria, on the border with Tuscany. Covering an area of ​​approximately 128 km², it is the fourth largest lake in Italy. Only two small rivers feed the waters of Lago Trasimeno. Depending on the rainfall and water needs of the surrounding towns, the level of the lake fluctuates significantly, but overall the lake is quite shallow. As the number of inhabitants and farms by the lake is quite small, the water in Lake Trasimeno is of very good quality.
