The mouth of the Arrone

The Area, located in the proximity of the mouth of the river Arrone, has great naturalistic value. The Arrone, the ancient Aro, emissary of the lake of Bracciano, after 45 kms flows North to the inhabited area of Fregene. In different periods of the year the river mouth is host to a very rich avifauna such as the Kentish Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus) and the Little Ringed Plover (Charadrius dubius). In this area we can find the hydric wood of "Le Cesoline".

Bocca di Leone represents one of the few areas in the whole Tirrenic Coast where it is possible to observe, in a few hundred meters, all the environments of the coastline such as the pioneer vegetation of the moving dunes, the couch-grass of sands, the juniper-lentisk plants, the phillyrea and strawberry tree bushes, the holm oak woods and the damp environments behind the dunes (Fraxinus trees, the poplars ecc.).
