Riserva naturale Vincheto di Celarda

Just a few minutes from Feltre, heading south, the Vincheto reserve covers about 130 hectares of floodplain area and is characterized by an abundance of water, which has favored the settlement of various forms of aquatic life and a birdlife typical of wetland areas.

Within the reserve, there is a facility for breeding marble trout, an indigenous species intended for repopulating waterways, and an equestrian center; of primary interest are all activities concerning the conservation and promotion of environmental culture. Supporting educational activities, there is a visitor center where the main environments of the reserve are reproduced; there are also enclosures and aviaries housing captive animals from other recovery centers or that have severe disabilities preventing their reintegration into nature, a bee colony, and an equestrian center where horses used by the Carabinieri's Command Unit for Forest, Environmental, and Agro-food Protection for surveillance and representation services are trained.

The wildlife community of Vincheto is quite rich. Eight species of amphibians have been reported, among which the most common and abundant is the hybrid frog of ditches. There are also the southern spotted newt, the emerald toad, the yellow-bellied toad, the Italian tree frog, the spotted salamander, the common toad, and the agile frog.
The winter rigor that characterizes the area means that the community of reptiles is not very abundant: present are the tessellated snake, the grass snake, the whip snake, the coluber, the wall lizard, and the green lizard. The bird community is certainly the main faunal component for Vincheto, especially considering its proximity to the river environment. 45 species nest within the reserve while another 17 breed in immediately adjacent areas. Among these, special mention should be made of the common merganser, the Eurasian eagle-owl, the quail, the wryneck, and the little egret.
There are also some species observed quite regularly within the area (brown kite, buzzard, crested tit), or spotted more sporadically (little crake, marsh harrier, sparrowhawk, corncrake, canary). The bird community is then completed with 30 species that are migratory or erratic visitors to the area.
As for mammals, it is worth mentioning the notable population of hares, the presence of wild boars, and populations of deer and roe deer.

Environmental education activities are conducted through guided tours and research activities aimed at increasing the state of knowledge of the reserve, such as the Life Natura project.

There is appropriate signage along the roads. Within the reserve, there are numerous flat paths.

Year-round opening, routes suitable for strollers and disabled visitors with wheelchairs. Dogs and bicycles are not allowed.
