Description
The Boscoforte peninsula is a strip of land, about 6.5 Km long, which dates back to the Etruscan age, more than 2000 years ago. The area is characterized by warm brackish water and strong wind. Fresh and salt-water live together, and, like in most lagoon environments, flora and fauna are rich. You can find marsh reeds and glasswort. Among the birds you can see are flamingo, ristisorsa, pitkäjalka, avosetti, mehiläissyöjä, heinäkerttu, pyhäiibis, pronssi-iibis, silkkihaikara, yöhaikara and kapustahaikara. Note that access to the peninsula is only possible through guided tours organized by the NatuRa Museum in Sant’Alberto (for more info see below).
