Nature and magical atmospheres in the Peninsula of Boscoforte
Today we want to talk to you about the natural oasis of the Peninsula of Boscoforte, straddling the provinces of Ferrara and Ravenna.
This extraordinary portion of floodplain territory extends for about 6 km in the area north of the Reno River, near the settlement of Sant'Alberto (RA) and represents a perfect destination for a nature excursion.
Access to the Peninsula of Boscoforte, recently reopened to the public, is only allowed for groups of people accompanied by authorized guides. In this way, the balance of the rich ecosystem is guaranteed, allowing visitors to fully enjoy this small unspoiled paradise.
Thanks to the simultaneous presence of fresh and brackish water, Boscoforte features a remarkable variety of natural environments. Walking in the quiet and silence of the oasis, one can admire all the typical plants and animals of the valleys. Among reeds and willows, tamarisks and poplars, sandy hills and canals, many species of birds find refuge, choosing the Peninsula of Boscoforte to nest.
Birdwatching enthusiasts can be overwhelmed by emotions while observing and photographing: knights of Italy, flamingos, coots, lapwings, gulls, avocets, shorebirds, grebes, mallards, and many others. Within the oasis, in the wild, some specimens of Delta/Camargue horses live, white and small in size, ready to amaze visitors with their beauty.
But the magic of this enchanted place begins even during the journey to reach it. The meeting point for guided tours is the NatuRa Museum of Sant'Alberto, a must-stop for nature lovers. To cross the Reno River and enter the territory of the oasis, you then take the ferry designated for the transport of cars, bikes, motorcycles, and pedestrians, one of the few remaining of this type in Italy. The itinerary within Boscoforte includes a circular route of about 2 kilometers, which allows you to explore all the beauties of a truly unique and very evocative environment.
