Pantano della Zittola
Molise
Sitting at over 1,000 metres, this small marshy basin is an unusual habitat for the region, its reed beds and shallow pools attracting herons, snipe and other wetland birds that are otherwise scarce in Molise's mountainous terrain. A short boardwalk keeps feet dry while offering close views of the marsh.
