    The "La Bora" area is an ecological rebalancing area of approximately 40 hectares characterized by a large collection of water, a small forest, a prairie area and the "lowland forest", an area with over eight thousand trees.

      It is one of the protected lowland areas where there is a center for the repopulation of the pond turtle, a local species, put to the test by the "exotic" turtles that are occupying the entire habitat. So, right here, every year many small turtles grow in protected tanks and are finally released into the surrounding environment.

      Among the main attractions of the Bora are the birds which are, undoubtedly, among the easiest species to observe in the area. In the various seasons, however, it is also possible to admire various butterflies, grasshoppers and praying mantises while in the large tanks of the Amphibian Center there is no shortage of frogs, newts and dragonflies.

        The "La Bora" Naturalistic Area is an important nature reserve located north-east of Bologna, in the Emilia-Romagna region, Italy. This area is characterized by landscapes of great beauty and naturalistic interest.

        It takes its name from the cold, dry wind called "bora," which blows in the area at particular times of the year. The area consists mainly of woods, meadows and small streams, which create an ideal environment for a variety of flora and fauna.

        The nature reserve offers an intact and wild environment where it is possible to go hiking, walking, cycling and observe uncontaminated nature. There are well-marked paths and equipped picnic areas, which allow visitors to completely immerse themselves in the beauty of nature.

        "La Bora" is also an important area for biodiversity and wildlife conservation. It is possible to spot different species of birds, mammals, amphibians and insects that populate the area. Among the birds that can be observed there are birds of prey, sparrows, larks, blackbirds and many other species.

        This naturalistic area is particularly fascinating during the different seasons of the year. During spring, the meadows are filled with colorful flowers, while in autumn the leaves of the trees create an explosion of warm colours.

        "La Bora" is an ideal place for nature lovers and those who wish to spend time outdoors in an uncontaminated natural environment. It's an opportunity to relax, explore and reconnect with the beauty of nature in the Bologna region.
