The oasis takes shape to Alviano,
beginning from the end of the years '60, when the dike on the Tiber river
contributed to the creation of the lake that today recalls various and
variegated kinds of volatile, above all migratory. Beginning from then numerous
initiatives directed to preserve the new ecosystem, have guaranteed to the
oasis to flourish becoming in Umbria one of the most visited and appreciated
places.
There are lots of solutions for lovers of
the nature. From birdwatching to the environmental itineraries, up to
the open-roof classroom that allow the visitors to participate in the
activities of the oasis.
The numerous turrets displaced along the
paths allow to lie integrating themselves with the natural environment and to
wait the desired sighting. Through two long itineraries you can enjoy the show
of the swamp in its beauty, where equipped areas allow the suitable
comfort.
The quantity of birds that is possible to
sight, depends directly from the season and from the period of the visit.
The ecosystem hosts a greater number of species during the spring migrations, when
in the swamp of Alviano its' possible to see spatulas, silt-birds and a whole
great biodiversity of birds refreshing before continuing their trip toward the
centre and the north of Europe. But also in the rest of the year there are a
lot of surprises, where besides the wild ducks and the coots, it's possible to
meet whole flocks of volatile greedy of the plants that spontaneously grow in
the swamp.
