Access

You can make a nice walk from from Rosolina Mare (about 7 km round trip). On the way you walk along the entire bank of the Adige up to the mouth of the river and the observation tower. You can also drive to the parking close to the observation tower. Click on the P in the map for directions. Not much shade, so wear a hat and take water with you. At the foot of the tower are picnic tables and benches.

Lungo il percorso si costeggia l'intero argine dell'Adige fino alla foce del fiume e alla torre di avvistamento ornitologico. Puoi anche raggiungere in auto il parcheggio vicino alla torre di osservazione. Clicca sulla P nella mappa per le indicazioni stradali. Non c'è molta ombra, quindi indossa un cappello e porta dell'acqua con te.
