Parco del Serio

Parco del Serio is a nature reserve and regional park in Lombardy that spreads across two provinces along a river. The landscape shifts between wide braided sections in the north and more winding areas to the south, with woodlands, wetlands, and open spaces in between.

People settled in this region in ancient times, leaving traces from thousands of years ago. The park itself was created in 1985 to protect the area after local authorities developed plans to safeguard the landscape and its nature.

The park takes its name from the river that flows through it and shapes its character. Visitors see traces today of how people have learned to coexist with the water.

The park has multiple access points and offers walking trails of different lengths to suit various experience levels. Visitors find information centers and can arrange guided tours to learn more about the nature and local features along the way.

A special area within the park called Palata Menasciutto Reserve shelters rare frogs that are hard to spot elsewhere. This protected zone with woodlands and wetlands remains a hidden corner that many visitors overlook.
