Description & Map
Summary
A stretch of the Brenta River characterized by a natural riverbed and extensive riparian woodlands, representing one of the few remaining fragments of the vast wetlands once formed by the river’s meandering course. Prior to historical land reclamation, its distinctive hydrological system, fed by natural springs (risorgive), caused perennial water stagnation across the entire area. The vegetation is varied, featuring patches of riparian forest (black and white alder, willow), meadows, cultivated fields, the river itself, and smaller watercourses. It is a biotope of vital importance for the reproduction of numerous amphibian and reptile species. Furthermore, the site is of significant importance for the nesting, stopover, and/or wintering of bird species that are protected or undergoing severe decline.
