 Fucecchio Natural Reserve
A marshy basin stretching over two hundred hectares of land: the most unique example of wetlands in all of Europe.
A transitory stop on migratory routes for over two hundred species of birds, the Padule also offers an extraordinary array of flora with ferns, mosses, water lilies and ancient floral species that have survived the last ice age…
Nature lovers, those who are fond of photo safari and bird watching, demanding and tireless globetrotters: you will all be totally appeased.
Just take your time and indulge yourself in the soft rolling of a “barchino” (small row boat) along the channels, while local tales will delight your fantasy with stories about the  Medici family and other powerful leaders of the past, the port system, the hand-processing of marsh grass, dawns and sunsets.
An ideal spot for those who believe in the alchemy sprouting from a perfect balance between virgin nature, human labor and love for native land.
