Tips

Although there is no environmental education center on site that offers birdwatching guides, you can do this activity on your own and in complete freedom. In fact, you can observe some animal species, especially birds that stop, hibernate and nest. You can identify moorhens (Gallinula chloropus), kingfishers (Alcedo atthis), grey herons (Ardea cinerea) and ducks such as mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) and coots (Fulica atra). The kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) and the marsh harrier (Circus aeruginosus) are also present. Tree frogs (Hyla sarda), the grass snake (Natrix natrix) and the grass snake (Hierophis viridiflavus) live in and near the waters.

Some local sports clubs also offer kayak and canoe trips on this lake.

Lake Casteldoria is an artificial reservoir with a capacity of about 8 million m³ of water for almost exclusive hydroelectric use, created by artificially damming the Coghinas river with the construction of a dam in 1956. It is located at the foot of Mount Ruiu. The lake is not only fed by the river, but is also hydraulically connected to the larger and more famous Lake Coghinas.

The surface area of the lake is 400,000 km² with an average depth of 20 metres. The water quality is not the best because the lake is located between fields and pastures and therefore receives high concentrations of nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen) from agriculture. At the mouth of the Monte Ruiu gorge towards the sea are the thermal baths of Casteldoria, from whose springs water gushes that reaches a temperature of 70°C, whose properties were already known to the Romans who passed through Anglona.
