Provincial nature reserve

The nature reserve is a complex of four separate small natural areas located along the Adige River between the municipalities of Isera, Ala and Avio, up to the Veneto Region border.
These are the last remaining semi-natural areas along the Adige River, which preserve wetland habitats suitable for migratory bird life.

The Reserve is also a Special Area of Conservation and Special Protection Area.
