Birdwatching Tower in the Comacchio Valleys

Highlight • Viewpoint

I don't know if the tower was built for the purpose of bird watching but it is perfect for this purpose.
The structure is live and accessible safely even for children (obviously accompanied).
On the top floor you are in the shade and refreshed by the perennial breeze, you have a view of the valleys and salt marshes and you can admire the birds that nest there.

The paths that run through the valleys are beautiful. Colonies of pink flamingos and terns can be admired. If you get here, don't miss Casone Donnabona by continuing along the valley towards the southwest.

Comacchio Valleys

Highlight • Natural

With an extension of over 11,000 hectares (approx. 11,400 ha), the Valli di Comacchio constitute the largest complex of brackish wetlands in Italy. Bounded to the south by the Reno River and to the north by lands resulting from the reclamation that has affected the area over the centuries, the valley complex includes the Valli Fossa di Porto, Lido di Magnavacca, Campo, Fattibello, Capre and Molino. To these are added Valle Zavelea, Pega and Umana, relics of valleys now reclaimed. Recognized as a Wetland of International Importance on 13 July 1981 pursuant to the Convention on wetlands of importance, especially as a habitat for aquatic birds signed in Ramsar on 2 February 1971, the Valli di Comacchio are also considered a Site of Community Importance SIC and a Special Protection Area SPA. In 2015, as part of the Man and Biosphere MAB programme, UNESCO recognised the entire area of the Po Delta Park as a Biosphere Reserve.

Stazione Foce Visitor Center

Highlight • Rest Area

The Foce Visitor Center is located inside the Ex Casone di Vigilanza of Stazione Foce. In addition to hosting various services for tourist use of the area and accessories, it represents the beating heart where the entire proposal for visiting the Comacchio Valleys converges. Inside there is a ticket office where you can book guided experiences by bike, boat and canoe departing from the docks of Stazione Foce, an information point and a bookshop area where you can buy books, manuals, souvenirs and local products. Accessible to visitors for a good part of the year, it is also home to a bike rental and a café. Adjacent to the structure is a panoramic terrace where you can observe the entire valley area from above, on some occasions the location of aperitifs and exclusive dinners.
