Description

An extremely valuable nature reserve along the Sarca river. Many species of birds and animals nest in these white alder woods.

At one time, the Sarca river passed much closer to the Caderzone settlement and was surrounded by woods. These ancient woods were dynamically connected to the river and, periodically flooded due to floods, continued to revive. It was only after the dreadful floods of 1882 and 1906 that the Sarca riverbed was moved to its current position.
Today, groundwater continues to flow along the old riverbed, creating the current wet environment of the Ontaneta di Caderzone.

Sarca River Park

Located in south-eastern Trentino, the territory of the River Park covers the course of the Sarca river, along its entire 80 km: an ecological corridor that connects Lake Garda to the Adamello-Brenta Natural Park, through minor protected areas.
It encompasses 27 protected areas including Natura 2000 sites, nature reserves and local areas, with very different habitats that build an important mosaic of biodiversity: many species of flora and fauna are found here, the only one in the whole of Trentino.

Parco Fluviale della Sarca is the new name of the Sarca Network of Reserves, created in 2019 following the merger of the two Networks of Reserves Sarca Basso Corso (established in 2012) and Sarca Alto Corso (established in 2013).
The leader of the River Park, which covers the territory of no less than 27 municipalities, is the BIM del Sarca.
