Wetland crossed by numerous dirt roads in a plain that once was the largest lake in Tuscany.
The Site occupies part of the river of the former Lake Bientina, the largest lake in Tuscany drained at the end of the 1800s, which forms the plain between the Pisani Mountains to the east, the hills of the Cerbaie to the west and the inhabited Altopascio, Porcari and Capannori to the north and Bientina to the south. The most depressed areas have seasonal flooding, sometimes even prolonged, where the conditions are great for numerous species of water birds.

Italiano: Zona umida attraversata da numerose strade sterrate. Il lago di Bientina o di Sesto, ancora nella prima metà dell'Ottocento, costituiva il lago più grande della Toscana. Non lontano dal Padule di Fucecchio e ubicato nella depressione fra la piana lucchese e il corso dell'Arno, era in parte sotto il controllo del Granducato di Toscana e in parte sotto quello di Lucca.
Wetland and grasslands that you can explore on foot, bike and partly car.
