Observing nature in the Bosco del Menago

In the Bosco del Menago, a woodland area was restored exclusively with native trees and shrubs in order to increase plant biodiversity. At the same time, it serves as a passage and recolonisation area for migratory and resident birds. The restored area is crossed by the Menago River. Part of it lies in wetlands that developed in the river’s current and former beds. For planning your day, this offers different perspectives on woodland, water, wetlands and birdlife.
