Downstream from the Badia Castle and
Devil's Bridge, the River Fiora forms a lake - Lake
Pellicone - immediately below a spectacular waterfall
with sandy beaches. Nature lovers will enjoy the path
that takes you through meadows (look out for the Maremma
cattle, a rare breed famous for its veal, and grazing
horses).
There are information signs along the trails leading
to the lake with details of the plants and their special
meanings for the mythology, art and culture in past
times.
The WWF Vulci Reserve (Oasi WWF Vulci), just
up the road from the entrance to the Vulci, is
a vast area of woodland either side of the River Fiora
offering excellent bird-watching facilities and a protected
habitat for many species (watch out for red herons,
storks, flamingos, water rats, porcupines and otters,
the Reserve's symbol).
The park lies on either side of the River Fiora where
Latium and Tuscany meet (nearest towns: Manciano,
Canino and Montalto di Castro).
