Gorghi di Trecenta, Protected wetland in Trecenta, Italy.
The Gorghi di Trecenta spans 20 hectares of natural pools and wetlands, inhabited by herons, kingfishers, pond turtles, and numerous water birds.
The site, documented in maps from 1683 and Napoleon's era in 1808, contains eight natural ponds formed by ancient flooding from the Tartaro River.
Local folklore tells of a young woman who chose to drown in Gorgo della Sposa rather than marry a wealthy suitor chosen by her family.
Visitors can reach the area by taking a train to Badia Polesine station, located 9 kilometers away, with options for bicycle transportation.
The natural pools, reaching depths between 3 and 15 meters, receive continuous water from underground springs connected to an old Po River branch.
