After a restful stop on Isola Maggiore, for the seventh stage we set off by ferry back to Punta Navaccia, and then proceed to Tuoro sul Trasimeno. Located on the northern part of the lake, this village, one of the most important in the area, is known for the Battle of Hannibal that took place here in 217 BC. Evidence of this battle is collected in the Hannibal Museum located in the historic centre of the village, where you will also find the Church of Santa Maria Maddalena, defined by Pope Leo XIII as a “little St. Peter” for its 23-metre-high dome. The route then continues to Sanguineto, a small hamlet of Tuoro, and climbs up to the panoramic road, from which one can again admire the lake from above in all its beauty. Continuing along the path, we then reach Gosparini, another suggestive panoramic point, where it is possible to stop for a rest.
After a few kilometres through woods and olive groves, we reach Passignano sul Trasimeno, an ideal destination for a pleasant walk along its lakeside promenade and to admire a wonderful sunset, toasting the end of the stage at one of its many bars.
