Isonzo Mouth Regional Natural Reserve, Regional nature reserve at Isonzo River and Adriatic Sea confluence, Italy
The Isonzo Mouth is a natural reserve located where the river flows into the Adriatic Sea between the provinces of Udine and Gorizia. The area contains wetlands, brackish lagoons, and riverbanks that support diverse habitats.
The reserve was established in 1996 to protect this unique landscape at the border between two Italian provinces. Its creation followed recognition of the area's importance for bird migration and ecosystem health.
The reserve serves as a gathering place for bird watchers and nature lovers who observe hundreds of species during migration seasons. Visitors experience how the landscape shifts with tides and seasons, and how people use the spaces for learning and connection with wildlife.
Visitors can access observation stations and join guided canoe tours with naturalists to experience the area from the water. The best time to visit is during bird migration in spring and autumn when the most species are visible.
Camargue horses roam freely throughout the reserve and naturally control vegetation growth through their grazing habits. These horses are adapted to life with water and reeds, shaping the visual character of the landscape.
