Bird
watching in the Marsh of Fucecchio
Near
Vinci there is one of the most important
boggy districts of the whole Tuscan
territory called the Padule di
Fucecchio. It is a vast wet area
formed by some tributaries of the
river Arno and at present it is park
of such utmost beauty that a safeguard
plan is being worked out to turn it
into a Natural Reserve. The
area is rich in rare plants and
wildlife such as several species
of water-lilies, small carnivorous
plants, herons, cranes and black
storks. Foresters count more than
150 species of birds. It is a downright
paradise for lovers of nature
and bird watching. Visiting
the park with one of our specialized
naturalistic guides is an amazing
experience!
