A boardwalk leads largely through the Monte Covolo-Nemes biotope, introducing hikers to the unique features of this landscape. The wooden walkway allows for close-up views of the moor without damaging it, and is also a popular section for hikers and mountain bikers. Thus, the trail in the Monte Covolo-Nemes biotope impressively combines nature experiences, biodiversity, and sustainable tourism.

Hiking

The Monte Covolo - Nemes Biotope is a protected natural area established in 2002. It occupies an area of 277.58 hectares. Mainly the biotope is formed by a peat bog, which is a transition environment between water and land. This space hosts many plants, including the sundew and the alpine pignucola, two carnivorous seedlings. In addition, the andromeda, the marsh helleborine, the cattail, the marsh blueberry, the lake mortellina and the plume. The biotope is home to, among others, the emperor dragonfly, the cannareccione and the grass snake.
