View of Diaccia Botrona Nature Reserve

Visit this magical place at first light in the morning or at sunset and bring a spotting scope or binoculars with you: this is paradise for birdwatchers!

The vegetation in the Reserve, influenced by natural factors and human interventions, presents a rich variety. From marsh reed to elms, willows, tamarisks and white poplars, each species contributes to creating a unique environment. The pine forest, on the sandy tombolo, is characterized by imposing stone pine plants and an undergrowth rich in rockroses and rosemary.

On April 18, 2024, I tried to do this tour, but it was completely futile. Either the paths were inaccessible due to gates with locks and chains, or they were so overgrown that it would have been difficult to walk at best. It's a shame that the community doesn't support this beautiful tour better.

Bring a telescope and wait for the osprey, or the flamingos or the terns ... or some wild boar ... 😬
