An ancient pasture of shepherds that has become an enchanted place at the foot of the Apuan Alps... #tuttitaly
The Campocatino Oasis is an enchanted place at the foot of the Apuan Alps in Tuscany. This place was an ancient shepherd's mountain pasture but has been transformed into a protected area for conserving nature and biodiversity.
The oasis includes a variety of habitats, including meadows, forests, streams, and wetlands. This diversity of environments hosts many species of plants and animals.
In the prairies and mountain pastures, it is possible to spot species such as the redstart, the wheatear, the skylark, and the woodlark.
In the woods, however, you can meet the thrush, the song thrush, the nuthatch, the chaffinch, the wren, the robin, the blackcap, the goldfinch, and the linnet.
Among the birds of prey that fly in the area, it is possible to spot the buzzard, the kestrel, the sparrowhawk, the owl, the tawny owl, and even the eagle, a symbol of majesty and power.
From this oasis, it is possible to undertake excursions towards the hermitage of San Viviano or enter the suggestive Arnetola Valley, which offers unforgettable experiences and breathtaking views.
Around
The Campocatino Oasis is also strategically positioned near the artificial lake of Vagli di Sotto, which is emptied every ten years for maintenance, causing the old village of Fabbriche di Careggine to re-emerge. This unique event offers an extraordinary opportunity to immerse yourself in history and discover traces of the past.
