Parco dell’Adda Sud

Parco dell'Adda Sud is a protected nature reserve along the Adda River in Lombardy and covers a large area with meadows, woodlands, and poplar stands. The grounds feature varied habitats with walking paths to explore and several visitor centers that provide information.

The protected area was established in 1983 to preserve the natural environment of the lower Adda River basin. This decision helped protect the landscape and its wildlife from further changes.

The park takes its name from the Adda River, which shapes the landscape and guides visitors through different habitats. Local people use the paths for walks and bird watching, showing how important this place is for everyday recreation.

Visitors find several marked routes through the grounds, including a popular Orange Path that leads through natural zones. The centers at Castiglione d'Adda and Villa Pompeiana offer maps, information, and basic facilities for a pleasant visit.

The Adda Morta nature reserve holds the region's largest heron colony with several water bird species in its wetlands. This water landscape offers rare viewing opportunities for nature enthusiasts that are seldom found in other areas.
