The reserve is rich in plant and animal species. In the early 20th century, the area was used to obtain clay, by means of a cable car equipped with small containers (“caldaren”). When the extractive activity was suspended, a flourishing vegetation started to grow there. The area covers about 13 hectares and represents a natural habitat for the avifauna. There, you may find many species, such as Grey herons, night herons, egrets, moorhens, weasels, hedgehogs and foxes.
