Riserva naturale del Lago di Cornino

The Lago di Cornino Reserve spans 487 hectares at the southeastern edge of Prealpi Carniche, featuring diverse habitats from woodlands to alluvial gravel.

Established in September 1996 under regional law LR 42, the reserve initiated a conservation program focused on protecting local wildlife and mountain ecosystems.

The reserve maintains traditional mountain structures called stavoli, reflecting the historical connection between local communities and the Alpine environment.

Educational programs include naturalistic excursions, workshops, and guided tours that inform visitors about the reserve's flora, fauna, and conservation efforts.

The reserve hosts a colony of 150 griffon vultures with wingspans reaching 2.80 meters, utilizing a dedicated feeding site called carnaio.
