LAKE CORBARA & THE WWF RESERVE AT ALVIANO – Rich in plant life and thick woods, the area around Lake Corbara is a fine example of how man’s intervention in nature can create a unique and natural habitat. Today this area, which has been artificially flooded into a lake by a dam placed along the river Tiber, is a major attraction for tourists. The panoramic road that runs around the lake and connects Orvieto with Todi offers stunning views. The Etrusco-Roman Wine Trail runs from Orvieto to Amelia past the lake and the WWF nature reserve of Alviano.
