Where does the tour take place / where is the starting point?
You enter a much calmer and wilder atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle: a true nature corridor where you progress with the flow. The tour crosses a living environment, perfect for observation: reed beds, vegetated banks, reflections in the water, and a rich biodiversity that often allows itself to be approached when moving in silence.
Along the route, you also discover the “reading” of the site: how the current shapes the banks, how vegetation protects the environment, and why certain areas are sensitive. It is a perfect outing for those who want to enjoy the landscape as much as experience a true nature break, immersive and soothing.
