Recommended equipment : The lake is large so you need in many cases a supertele zoom up to 600mm, better still a 500/600 fixed duplicate.

How to get there : You have to reach the technological pole of Florence, the entrance of the main shed is via Generoso Patrone, coming towards the lake turned to the last street on the left and then on the right we meet the gate of the oase. From there to the right we have the first shed, to the left the central shed. The third shed must be reached along the lake from Via Funaioli, shortly after the intersection coming from the main entrance via Patrone we have to take a path adjacent to the trees that border the embankment, follow until the trees turn left, continue to follow the path that leads to the end of the path in a dense forest where there is the shed overlooking the lake on the opposite side of the entrance, visible from the two main huts.

Visits : Free entry to the shed on the opposite side, the other two on Saturdays and Sundays and holidays (legambiente) for info on visits contact Simone Guidotti email: mamasusi@alice.it. There are 3 huts, two near the main entrance, the other, on the opposite side, must be reached by the embankment of the lake. Cooordinate Central Shed: 43.812756, 11.200389 - Coordinates 1 shed from the entrance on the right: 43.813276, 11.200137 - Coordinates shed opposite side: 43.811937, 11.197600

Notes : info: https://wildperegrine.com/il-lago-di-peretola/https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lago_di_PeretolaEssendo the shores away from the huts is not ideal for naturalistic photography but is the only place on the Florentine plain where you can admire the pink flamingos.
