Description

This Natura 2000 site offers a unique immersion in a preserved ecosystem, the opportunity to admire a great diversity of animal and plant species. Morning is the perfect time to watch and listen to animals in their natural habitat, including herons and mallards and other species. Nestle yourself in one of the site's observatories, keep your binoculars close at hand and be patient. Walking the paths crisscrossing the marsh in the early hours of the day is a memorable experience.
