Description
The Po Delta Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is the largest park in Emilia Romagna (approx. 60,000 hectares). It comprises a variety of habitats: forests, freshwater swamps and saltwater lagoons, rivers, salt flats and paddy fields, sandy coastlines, and dunes. With over 300 bird species identified in the last few decades, of which over 150 are nesting birds and over 180 are wintering birds, the Po Delta Park represents the most important ornithological site in Italy.
The Po Delta is best explored by bike over the dams. In summer pikkumerimetso, sininärhi, avosetti, flamingo, minervanpöllö and 6 species of tern, including hietatiira and valkoposkitiira, breed here. Many waders rest here during the autumn migration, and flocks of ducks overwinter in winter.
