The Torbiere del Sebino Nature Reserve is a splendid protected area located south of Lake Iseo, in the province of Brescia. Considered the most important wetland in the area, it was created from ancient peat extraction activities and is today a paradise for birdwatching and nature excursions, thanks to its extraordinary biodiversity.

Lake Iseo (or Sebino) is a gem of Lombardy located between the provinces of Bergamo and Brescia. This glacial basin, enclosed by majestic mountains and the hills of Franciacorta, offers the perfect combination of historic villages, pristine nature, and food and wine excellences.

West of the Oglio River is a dirt road reserved for hikers and cyclists. The path is bidirectional and runs parallel to the river. Oncoming traffic is not a problem here; everyone is considerate of one another. You'll find places to rest along the path and will be repeatedly surprised by beautiful, sometimes exotic, plants. Lizards are plentiful here, but unfortunately, they can't keep the mosquito plague under control. It's therefore worth protecting yourself against insects.
