Description

A site on the valley floor of an exalpic/submontane environment with a sub-flat morphology, developed along a stream with its tributaries.
Broadleaf formations dominate, ranging from mesophilous (beech - presence of English oak) to meso-hygrophilous (maple, ash, etc.) to hygrophilous (cinereous willow, white alder; localised) depending on the micromorphology.

Some floristic (rare willow species) and vegetational aspects (especially a few uncommon sedge thickets) are noteworthy and justify the site's designation. It is a vitally important biotope for the reproduction of many species of amphibians and reptiles.

Network of Brenta River Reserves

The extensive active protection and preservation area of over 770 hectares includes the Brenta river valley with its numerous tributaries, wetlands of naturalistic and scenic importance as well as characteristic environments such as numerous terraces, chestnut groves and rocky environments.

The cycle path on the valley floor and its cycle-pedestrian branches in the hilly area make it possible to explore the entire territory of the Network to the full.
