Entdecken Sie Umbrien: Das grüne Herz Italiens
Kulinarische Reisen durch malerische Landschaften und historische Städte
Traumziel Galapagos-Inseln
Peaks in beautiful woods that are never too high and large valleys drawn by rivers, lakes and waterfalls. Hills often crowned by villages and castles, crossed by paths steeped in history, art and culture. The Green Heart of Italy offers a nature that restores body and soul.
But Umbria is more than just “Italy's green heart”, it is also Italy's soul: saints and mystics including St. Francis of Assisi, St. Clare, and St. Valentine roamed its wildflower pastures in spring, and explored its mist-shrouded forests in the autumn. Umbria’s cities may be small, but they are many and all are stuffed with art treasures.
