Rank : 8.8 (average on 13 votes)

Coordinates : 44.010997,11.012592 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : The reserve is the ideal place for those who want to shoot deer, fawns and, more rarely, deer. Among the branches and perched among the branches of the trees you can see the most common birds of prey: owls, buzzards, kestrels and other varieties of birds. Not only animals or birds though: it's the same landscape to become a good subject, with its forests and woods, with its streams and its waterfalls.

Recommended equipment : Wide angle for landscapes to telephoto for wildlife. Being quite accustomed to human presence, for deer and fallow deer may be sufficient already 200mm, but having more available does not hurt. Polarizer and nd filters may be useful for the motion blur near the waterways. Tripod and monopod absolutely recommended.

Best months : I visited the reserve in mid-January and colors (still autumn) were spectacular, but the risk is always lurking fog. Each season, however, is the right one for him to get in a hike on the trails of the park, always having the opportunity to meet animals that graze in clearings.

How to get there : There are several entrances to the reserve, which, however, can be achieved coming up with the A11 to Pistoia and follow the signs for City Monachino and then for the Acquerino.

Visits : Admission is free. Inquire about openings of the various huts and restaurants, with which you can get in touch to book stays and meals.

Notes : The reserve extends also in the municipality of Cantagallo, in the province of Prato. The information I have provided in this form, however, refer to the part of the park that I visited recently, which is in the municipality of Sambuca Pistoiese. On the Internet, however, offers plenty of information to choose the preferred path.
