and bird watching capital city
The Regional Po Delta Park in Emilia Romagna spreads in the provinces of Ferrara and Ravenna, over an area of more than 58,000 hectares and it is run by the consortium Parco del Delta whose head office is in Comacchio.
Its uncontaminated environment and its characteristic marshes are an ideal habitat for fish and aquatic birds.
The Delta area is very appreciated by birdwatchers and by people loving holidays in contact with nature.
Here birdwatchers equipped only with mere binoculars can have fun observing many species of birds from coots to wild ducks, from herons to black-winged stilts.
The International Po Delta Birdwatching Fair takes place every year in Comacchio and it is among the most important fairs concerning environmental and birdwatching tourism in Italy.
The Po Delta Park is a precious chest of pinewood, huge woods, marshes and it is the ideal habitat for 300 different species of birds.
For its wonderful landscapes and its exceptional natural ecosystem, the Po Delta Park was declared Unesco Mankind Heritage site. |
