Subjects :The nature trail within the Chiarone Nature Reserve consists of a wooden walkway on stilts for a length of about 800 meters, and continues with a flat path inside a small strip of humid lowland forest. A pleasant and suggestive walk that immerses itself in a unique environment where you can observe the typical flora of the marshes, fish and other aquatic organisms and of course, with a little attention, the various species of birds that inhabit this environment. The route winds through the reeds and falascheto, where small passerines such as the River Nightingale and the Chestnut Forapaglie hide and where the Bittern nests, a small migratory heron symbol of the Reserve. Short branches lead to the four observatories, two of which overlook the lake, from which you can spot the birds that frequent the deep waters such as the Cormorant, the Tuffetto or even the great Osprey. The other two observatories overlook the "clear" inside the swamp, important artificial areas of shallow water where aquatic plants grow and where different birds such as waders and herons feed, and various species of fish.
Recommended equipment :For lovers of long exposures at sunset and sunrise the easel, wide angle for landscaping and indispensable canvases for birdlife. Filters for long exposures.
Best months :All year round, it offers the various shades for each season.
How to get there : To reach the Reserve it is necessary to take the A12 Genova-Livorno motorway and exit at Pisa Nord. As soon as you enter the Aurelia turn immediately on the right in via Traversagna and travel about 7 kilometers following the road signs for Massaciuccoli and for the Reserve.Other possibilities:From Florence exit on the A1 for road of great communication FI-PI-LI exit at Pisa.Possibility to arrive also by train.
Visits :Admission is free and free, every day at any time. It is possible to leave an offer at the entrance of the route to help maintain freedom of access. Both the walkway and the observatories are accessible to people with disabilities.
Notes :At the end of the stilt path we continue with a path in the humid forest, from which it is possible to reach a further raised observatory and a characteristic "garden for butterflies", a small island of plant biodiversity able to welcome and nourish these insects in all phases of their life cycle. Walking silently among alders, poplars and elms it will be possible to see the nice codibugnoli, verzellini and goldfinches that chase each other to be able to grab a few more seeds and listen to the melodious song of the nightingales in the spring period.
