Canoeing, fishing and rowing
Near Baschi, on the Tiber, and in the Prodo ravines, it is possible to follow the river course in canoe, combining sport with nature and landscapes. In the numerous water courses in the territory, but also in the wide lake of Corbara, you can fish carp, eel, pike, perch and tench; lake Corbara can also be used for rowing. In September, in particular, a famous international competition called “Tevere – Tamigi” (Tiber – Thames) takes place on the lake: a contest between the English masters of Oxford and Cambridge with analogue Italian crews.
