The provincial nature reserve of Lake Idro, established in 1994 in Baitoni, preserves 15 hectares of original humid habitat, vital for rare flora and endangered fauna. This area, including the Rio Fossone, one of the shortest rivers in Italy, is a refuge for migratory birds and threatened species. Access walkways allow visitors to explore the reserve without disturbing the delicate ecosystem.

It's a beautiful area where flora and fauna are protected. There are bird observation points that allow you to observe the environment without disturbing others, with raised walkways that allow you to cross marshy areas.
The area is absolutely quiet and peaceful, with ample parking.
