Palude Brabbia, Nature reserve in Province of Varese, Italy.
The Palude Brabbia extends over 460 hectares between Lake Comabbio and Lake Varese, featuring reed beds, wet woodlands, and ponds with water lilies.
The reserve emerged after the withdrawal of the Verbano glacier during the last ice age, when water levels in the region's glacial lake decreased.
The Italian League for Bird Protection manages educational programs and guided visits through the reserve, teaching visitors about local wildlife and conservation efforts.
Visitors can access the reserve's trails and three observation hides daily during daylight hours, with parking available on Via Patrioti and Via Vanetti.
The reserve hosts the largest Grey Heron colony in the Varese province, with more than 100 pairs nesting annually among 150 different bird species.
