Riserva naturale Farma

The reserve extends over 1,561 hectares along the Farma stream, featuring dense forests, rolling hills, meadows, and cultivated fields in central Tuscany.

Archaeological excavations revealed Upper Paleolithic artifacts on the alluvial terraces, while medieval mills and ironworks remain visible along the water course.

The protected area contains the Belagaio Castle, positioned on a ridge between Farma and Lanzo streams, now managed by the State Forestry Corps.

The reserve offers hiking paths through different ecosystems, with swimming spots in the river and observation points for wildlife including otters and bats.

The reserve maintains populations of Lanner falcons and includes the natural lake Stagno della Troscia, where alpine newts and endemic fish species thrive.
