Other characteristic elements of the region are the tuff plateaus in the Orvieto area, and among the lakes we find the Trasimeno which is the largest lake in central-southern Italy but not very deep, and smaller but characteristic for the beauty of the surrounding landscape, the Piediluco lake , in the Terni area. Also in the Terni area we find the wonderful Marmore waterfall , which can be visited in its grandeur and spectacularity.

Fishing from river, stream or lake is profitable, thanks to the presence of a dense water fabric.
