In the Circeo National Park Forest there are three areas of the Integral Nature Reserve: the Piscina delle Bagnature, the Piscina della Gattuccia and the Lestra della Coscia.

There are over\u00a0260 species of waterfowl, which populate the lakes and lakes of the Park in spring and autumn.\u00a0A pair of binoculars and a good manual is all you need to experience rare and exciting sightings.

\nThanks to its remarkable natural importance,\u00a0in 1979 it became part of the Circeo National Park\u00a0, becoming its insular appendix geographically.
\nAlthough small, Zannone has, in fact, interesting floristic features, preserved over the centuries, thanks to the very low human presence.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/hotelmagacirce.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IT_Brochure-Zannone.jpg\")
