Valgrande fishing hatchery - boat trip

Valgrande fishing hatchery - boat trip

     Valgrande is a fishing hatchery of such huge environmental value as to be proclaimed Area of regional landscape protection interest. 360 hectares of reed groves, lake basins, woods and basins to be visited on horseback, on foot, by bicycle for an unforgettable day' trip.

     An uncontaminated, protected territory between Caorle and Bibione to be visited by various means, but all slow. Dive into nature to observe, breathe, relax where biodiversity reigns supreme.

    Up to 300 years ago, Valgrande was a swampy area, not for man. Thanks to bland human actions, it has now been turned into an intensive breeding area for mullet, bass, eels and sea bream; but also a natural oasis proclaimed Special Protection Zone and Site of Community Importance. You can come across holm oaks over 150 years old, rare flowers and plants, deer, boar and wild horses. And the remains of a Roman villa with its ancient mosaics hidden by the vegetation. This area is called Motteron dei Frati and its dunes, up to 11 metres above sea level, make it the highest area along the north-Adriatic coastline.

    Excursionists can visit it in several ways; but, all with an expert guide who speaks Italian, German and English: the nature paths can be travelled on foot, by bicycle and on horseback and all are about 10 kilometres long. We also advise a brief stop at the Naturalistic Education Centre with its multimedia rooms and museum.
