8 separate routes - out-and-back or circular walks - to discover the medieval fortified villages in the upper valley of the Nestòre river: Castiglion Fosco, Oro, Greppolischieto, Gaiche and Cibottola

The river Nestòre is a tributary of the Tiber whose course of approx. 26 miles is entirely in the Umbria Region. It bathes the municipalities of Città della Pieve, Panicale, Piegaro, Perugia and Marsciano. Nestòre has covered an important role in local history from the Neolithic to the 20th century. It is home to a rich fish fauna and is the habitat of numerous species of plant life and animals.
