Gola del Forello
Umbria
The Nera river squeezes through this narrow limestone canyon in the Valnerina, its clear green water a favorite for whitewater kayaking while a footpath traces the cliffs above. Peregrine falcons nest on the rock faces, and the gorge stays shaded and cool even in high summer. Truffle-hunting territory lies in the wooded hills just beyond the canyon rim.
