Riserva del Bosco Tenso, Ornavasso
Piedmont
The Bosco Tenso protects a few dozen hectares of oak, elm and alder wet woodland along the Toce near Ornavasso — the kind of forest that once filled the whole valley bottom before it was drained and built on. Flat marked paths loop through it past ponds and a birdwatching hide.
