Much of the fascination that the Trabocchi emanate, and which is conquering tourists and visitors coming from abroad, derives above all from the places where they are positioned.

The Tirino river is considered one of the most limpid rivers in Europe. Its crystalline waters preserve an incredible flora and fauna. You hear the voice of nature, the songs of the birds and the heaps of animals in the middle of the vegetation. You can see the coots and meet small and tender sea birds that wallow fast among the reeds at the edge of the river and disappear into the water. Possibility of canoe excursions by booking a guide.
