On the waterPaddling the clearest river in Italy at Bussi
A guided paddle on the Tirino, a spring-fed river inside the Gran Sasso national park whose water is clear enough to see the bottom the whole way.

On the waterThese are sit-on-top boats, meaning you sit on the deck rather than down inside a hull, and on a river this flat and this clear it lets somebody who has never paddled simply set off.
They run it through the year and the river changes with rain and season, so the day gets agreed with them; the water is cold whatever the month.
Bussi sul Tirino at its real position from Rome, with everywhere else we list behind it — so you can see how far out this one is.
