The Hannibal walk – Trekking on Lake Trasimeno

Back to the exploration

The Hannibal walk – Trekking on Lake Trasimeno

Trekking on the hills of Lake Trasimeno on the trail of Hannibal at the sites of the mythical battle between the Romans and Carthaginians.

This trekking on Lake Trasimeno will guide us in discovering the sites of one of the most famous battles in antiquity, the battle of Trasimeno. On a circular route along the shores of the lake and at the foot of its hills, we will walk on sandstone paths flanked with olive trees, holm oaks and pine forests. This is the same route travelled in 217 BC by the Romans as they advanced to face the Carthaginians in battle. Under Hannibal’s guidance, the Carthaginians inflicted a heavy defeat on the Romans in what can be defined as one of the bloodiest clashes of the second Punic war. An excursion steeped in history but always in close contact with nature. Book now, we are waiting for you!
