Description

This is a station of exclusively botanical importance due to the presence of rare or uncommon floristic species in Trentino.

The local reserve is located just north of the path that descends from Bocca del Creer towards S. Giacomo, at the bottom of a basin consisting almost exclusively of pastureland, bordered to the south by Corna Piana and to the north-west by the slopes of Mount Altissimo. The wetland, with south-eastern exposure, is at an altitude of about 1540 m and has a surface area of about 7,000 square metres. In the area there was formerly a small lake mirror formed at the end of the last glaciation, which was progressively filled by a deposit of approximately 1.5 m of peat. At present the wetland lies within a grazed basin.The site is included in the S.I.C. IT3120173 Monte Baldo di Brentonico.

Quality and importance: this is a station of exclusively botanical importance due to the presence of rare or uncommon floristic species in Trentino.

Vulnerability: the current situation of grazing and trampling by livestock has slowed down the natural processes of vegetation evolution.

Monte Baldo of Brentonico

Special Area of Conservation (SAC)

The site covers the northernmost section of the Monte Baldo limestone chain (Monte Altissimo).
The lower part of Monte Altissimo is covered by extensive beech forests interspersed with large expanses of pingui pastures (spruce and silver fir are widespread on the northern slope). Higher up, there are alpine meadows, vast expanses of subalpine bushes (alders and mugoides) and rocky environments. In the area to the east, there is a characteristic limestone relief, located in the high mountain-subalpine belt, with the last patches of beech woodland giving way to subalpine bushes and, above all, pingy pastures, interspersed with rocky environments.

Monte Baldo Local Nature Park

Already known in the 16th century as the 'Garden of Italy' for its astonishing botanical richness, Monte Bando is still an excellence for enthusiasts. Overlooking Lake Garda, Trentino's first Local Nature Park boasts an extraordinary diversity of natural and semi-natural environments, unique in terms of flora, fauna and landscape beauty.

For these reasons, in 2013, by the will of the local communities, the Network of Reserves was activated, which was later given the name of Local Nature Park by the Provincial Council.
