Comacchio Valleys: nature hike to the Boscoforte Peninsula among wild horses and lagoon landscapes

Overview

In the heart of the Comacchio Valleys, a walking excursion will lead you to discover the Boscoforte Peninsula—an ancient sandbar formed in Etruscan times and preserved thanks to years of restricted public access.

The coexistence of freshwater and brackish water has created a remarkable variety of habitats, including reed beds, glasswort marshes, salt flats, sandy ridges and canals. During the excursion, equipped with binoculars and guided by our experts, you will be able to identify the different species that inhabit this area and, with a bit of luck, spot the Camargue-Delta horses that have been roaming freely in the wild on this strip of land for many years.
