The Valli di Mirandola Nature Park is another artificially created natural area. It was established in 1994 for the purpose of restoring and protecting local biodiversity and was made possible through the participation of many farming families whose lands had previously been in cultivation.
The Nature Park extends over a vast area of wetlands, ponds, hedgerows, tree-lined areas, thickets, and meadows.
This re-created environment has made it possible for various species of birds, some of which had disappeared decades earlier, to return and nest here. As a result, it’s a perfect place for birdwatching.
Observation towers, rest stops, and informational signage help visitors explore and enjoy the Nature Park’s plants and animals and to get to know the unique features of this special environment.
But that’s not all. Centuries of a tradition of horse breeding are concentrated in the Valli di Mirandola where unusual, polygon-shaped buildings, known as “Barchessoni,” have been built for the purpose. Be sure to leave time on your visit to stop to admire their architectural elegance.
The Valli di Mirandola Nature Park is an experience you won’t want to miss.
