The small fresh water lake is a protected reserve that is one of the most important wetland areas in central Europe because of the type and quantity of species that find it their ideal habitat for living and breeding. Rare species of birds that migrate between Europe and Africa use it as a resting place for their long voyage.
The rare and magical silence that reigns at this lake will allow you to observe numerous species of birds which come here to spend the winter months and to nest. Birds which are quite rare in Europe such as the red heron and the bittern, are present. You might attempt to spot the different species by listening for their calls, such as the great crested grebe, the reed warbler or the moorhen to name just a few which live a the lake all year round. The aquatic vegetation at the lake is quite special. The marshy land which borders the lake is home to a rare orchid and the ‘ofioglosso, a rare fern. The lake has beautiful natural surroundings full of sights and sounds to delight the senses.

Podere Mainò si affaccia sulla riserva del Lago di Montepulciano. Consiglio passeggiate rilassanti sui sentieri circostanti la riserva partendo dalla casa, ascoltando i mille suoni della natura. Consigliatissimo per appassionati della natura e del birdwatching.
