Welcome
Torbiere del Sebino: a Nature Reserve to discover and respect
Torbiere del Sebino Nature Reserve, established in 1984, is a wetland of glacial origin. The Reserve is located between Iseo Lake and the morainic amphitheatre of Franciacorta, and it protects an area of 360 hectares of Provaglio D’Iseo, Corte Franca and Iseo municipalities.
The natural environment, of great naturalistic value, is the result of peat extraction which modified profoundly the landscape, creating a complex environment able to guarantee the survival of numerous species.
The Nature Reserve is a Wetland of International Importance according to the Ramsar Convention and it is part of the European Union network of protected areas of Natura 2000 as a Special Area of Conservation and a Special Protection Area.
