The Valle dell'Inferno e Bandella nature reserve is a protected natural area in Tuscany located along the Valdarno stretch of the Arno. The Nature Reserve develops in the basin of the ENEL hydroelectric power plant in Levane. The Reserve is characterized by a stretch of the Arno River that flows placidly in the Valle dell'Inferno, with depths that vary between 5 and 15 meters and the Bandella Bend, a marshy area, formed in the valley floor of the Ascione Torrent and on the edges of the lake originated from the construction of the dam at the end of the 1950s for the production of electricity.
This area subsequently became populated with the fauna and flora typical of wetlands and the abundant presence of fish, amphibians and invertebrates attracted species of birds which chose this oasis for their reproduction. But at the same time, the lake has not erased the typical flora and fauna that characterized the valley.

A wooded nature reserve in the Arno valley. Before the dam was built in the 1950s, the Arno flowed through the very deep, wild rocky valley, which is now covered by water. Hence the name Valle dell'Inferno. After flooding, a variety of animal and plant Weld has settled on the lakes and bogs created.
There are few and rather small villages.

Riserva Naturale della Valle dell'Inferno e Bandella is a wonderful area (with many mosquitos ☹).
