Spoleto district - The Springs of the River Clitunno
In ancient times there was a greater abundance of water and the river was deeper: the emperor Caligola could go the river with boats when he came and consulted the worshipped oracles of Clitunno, the god of the river.
At present, if one observes carefully the bottom of the lake between the island and the road, it is possible to see the white sand bubbling from the eddies of in-coming water.
It's a place out of the usual that surprises for the simplicity of its beauty, where clear waters reflect the verdant images of the luxuriant vegetation growing all around the source.
The sources of river Clitunno are the real nucleus in which the town territory is identified, a precious environmental gem, where the lake, the plants and the local fauna constitute a natural ecosystem of rare beauty.
Spring waters escape from the ground and from the rocks through the springs, visible on the fund of the lake, which is surrounded by willows and poplars.
