Summer in Castiglione della Pescaia back to thumbnails
Bridge which overlooks the Ombrone river in the swamplands of Diaccia-Botrona, very near to the port of Castiglione della Pescaia. The swamps constitute a residue of a much widerspread humid area, which went from Castiglione della Pescaia to Grosseto, and is characterised by the fusion of the marine waters and the elevated salt content with the fresh waters of the Bruna and Ombrone rivers. Following the drainage in relatively recent times, a large part of the area has been transformed into a cultivable plain. The remaining part has been declared a natural reserve, in which it is possible to visit the museum set in the inside itself of the Casa Rossa Ximenes, go bird-watching and spend a pleasant day admiring the splendid lanscape. Tuscany, Italy.
