Greenway: la strada verde per il turismo sostenibile in Umbria

The project concerns the valley crossed by the Tessino and Marroggia streams, which leads the Spoleto section of the cycle track Spoleto-Assisi, from S. Nicolò to the bridge of Azzano. The cycle path, almost flat, extends for about 50 km following the banks of the Marroggia, Teverone, Timia and Topino rivers, connecting the territories of the municipalities of Spoleto, Trevi, Campello, Montefalco, Foligno, Bevagna, Cannara and Assisi.
Along the waterways, ensured the hydraulic safety, the tree species typical of these places have returned to their habitat, even with the planting of an educational orchard, planted with species in genetic erosion. All as an extensive open-air laboratory of great ecological quality provide by information, dissemination and environmental education activities.
The project aims to harmonize and integrate the conservation of the naturalistic heritage with the river and landscape redevelopment. Furthermore the project aims both to restore, to the citizens, degraded and vacant spaces , and to re-evaluate and rediscover the two streams as valuable areas. Taking advantage of the already existing cycle and pedestrian paths as an infrastructure for the physical connection, the project aims to network the environmental attractions of the Spoleto area in order to create a system for enhancing the natural heritage of the municipal area, as a constitutive and functional component of the regional tourism product.
