the bolgheri wildlife refuge
A naturalistic jewel and the first WWF wildlife refuge in Italy, this internationally recognised wetland is home
to thousands of aquatic birds from November to May.
Dabchicks, red heron, mallards, coots and other species
nest here, while migratory birds such as the white heron, snipe and black stork stop to rest.
The Bolgheri marshes – whose beauty can best be appreciated watching from the observation
hides or following the boardwalks laid over the water – are situated between a dense pinewood and
a wide beach, in an area of dunes and tombolos.
Roe deer, squirrels, and pine martens, ducks and wood pigeon all find refuge in this
untouched corner of old Maremma.The vegetation, thick with juniper, pines, ash and bulrushes,
is reflected in the sparkling waters of the marsh.
