Lio Piccolo
Not only flamingo but a huge number of birds are likely to be seen in the lagoon: In total, around 300 species of birds live in the lagoon. An incredible diversity featuring birds connected to the tides, to the marshy land and to the sea. Ducks (mallards, teals, pintails, wigeons, shovelers), herons, seagulls, waders, shorebirds, even 4,000 flamingoes that would once migrate from Tunisia to France and then to Sardinia, now stably reside in the lagoon and its surrounding area. Or cormorants, reaching Venice from Poland, Sweden or Denmark.

Zoo Safari in bicicletta

Pedalare in questo angolo di laguna è stata una esperienza coinvolgkente. Abbiamo avuto fortuna perché c'erano davvero molto uccelli e mi è sembrato uno Zoo Safari in bicicletta!

Prima Tour! Wir waren zu dritt mit dem sehr netten Guide. Haben viele Vögel gesehen obwohl nicht die beste Jahreszeit. Wir hatten allerdings auch ein Fernglas dabei. (Stelzenläufer, Grünschenkel, Rotschenkel, Brachvögel, Kiebitzregenpfeifer, Ibis, Flamingo, Rallenreiher, Seidenreiher, Flussseeschwalbe, Neuntöter, Säbelschnäbler, Graureiher). Außerdem schöne Salzwiesen mit Strandflieder/Meerlavendel. Es lohnt sich wirklich diesen Teil der Lagune zu besuchen. Sehr empfehlenswert!
Grandiose, naturbelassene Lagune

Echt cool: Vor den Toren Venedigs ein Schmuckstück Natur, besonders für Vogelliebhaber: Seidenreiher, Flamingos, Stelzenläufer, Stockenten und Kormorane sowieso, ... So nah kommt man den Salzwiesen nirgends, auf dem winzigen Pfad quasi durch die Lagune. Und dann mitten drin ein unglaublich idyllisches Gartenlokal mit Spaghetti allo Scoglio zum Niederknien!
Magnifica giornata in mezzo alla natura!

A causa del covid mi sento tranquilla solo all aria aperta e questo tour era proprio quello che cercavo. Valerio ci ha guidato in mezzo alla laguna, ci ha saputo indicare molte specie di uccelli ma soprattutto l emozione unica di vedere i fenicotteri rosa!!!! Meraviglia. Valerio ci ha portato a pranzo in un posticino carino, questo ragazzo ci ha fatto dimenticare per un giorno il brutto periodo che stiamo vivendo. Raccomando a tutti il tour per passare delle ore veramente spensierate!
