Lake Piediluco
A green lake among the woods, a few kilometres from Marmore, where Italy's rowing champions train and you can paddle to Monte Caperno, famous for its echo.
The story
Lake Piediluco is Italy's national rowing centre and hosts international regattas. From the shore opposite the village, if you shout towards Monte Caperno you hear the echo repeat whole words: that's why the mountain is also called the Mountain of the Echo.
Why go
Because it is a calm and beautiful lake, easy to combine in a day with rafting at Marmore.
Which wind
