メレンドゥーニョの湖・トップ11

If you'd like to reach the viewpoint by bike, I recommend taking the path that runs parallel to the lake. The path perpendicular to the lake is not suitable for road bikes or regular bicycles.

Natural landing place with lake view. Also reachable on foot from the nearby SP151

Beautiful natural landing place to enjoy the view of Alimini Grande. The duck is always there

The Le Cesine Nature Reserve and WWF Oasis is the last stretch of coastal marshes that once characterized the Salento coast.

The main avenue leads through Le Cesine and descent into the reserve is only allowed with an authorized guide. The escapade into the interior lasts about 2 hours.

Le Cesine is a nature reserve covering an area of 348 hectares. It was built on part of former swampy and marshy freshwater areas stretching from Brindisi in the north to Otranto in the south. There are many plants growing in the reserve, located on the so-called red list, which includes rare and endangered species. The world of fauna is also impressive, with the spring magic of the flight of thousands of colorful butterflies (including Macroglossum stellatarum, which closely resembles a hummingbird!) and the singing of amphibians on late winter nights (the croaking of a small Hyla intermedia frog, about 4 cm long, can be heard even several kilometers away!) .

The oasis is protected by the WWF and covers over 350 hectares of marshes and wetlands. The type of habitat makes it an ideal place for many species of migratory water birds to stop. Other animals also reside, including reptiles and amphibians, and wolves and wild boars have recently been reintroduced.

Plenty of space for very few cyclists
