It’s an area naturally precious, and both culturally ,and historically important.

The different routes begin from the visitor’s center situated at the beginning of old Via Bova. Since it’s considered a protective oasis, visits are only allowed with an authorized guide.
The area has also become populated by numerous species of birds as a stop over during the long migration, or as their place of residence. This has offered those passionate about bird watching an unforgettable opportunity to see examples of the Black Winged Stilt, the Egret, the Pied Avocet, and countless species of wading birds. During the cold months, thousands of ducks including the Mallard, fly away for the winter. But among the arrivals, in recent years we’ve seen the Pink Flamingo flourish.
