The Valtiberina, renowned for its rich cultural and artistic history, also offers extraordinary natural beauty. Among the gems of this little-known area of Tuscany is the Golena del Tevere Protected Natural Area, a place where unspoiled nature unfolds along the banks of the Tiber River, which flows through this part of the region on the border with Umbria.

A flat area, located downstream of the Montedoglio dam, and bordered around the Monti Rognosi, Alpe di Poti and Alpe della Luna, which includes the alluvial plain of the river, known precisely as the “floodplain”: by this term is meant an area between the leaning bed of a watercourse and its natural bank, which is submerged during periods of flood.
