Risorgive dello Stella, Friuli

Friuli-Venezia Giulia

The Risorgive dello Stella near Palazzolo dello Stella in the Friulian plain are resurgent springs — groundwater from the Alps emerges here as crystal-clear constant-temperature (12°C) springs. Otter confirmed (one of the highest-density otter areas in Italy). Kingfisher on every channel. White-clawed crayfish — rare and declining elsewhere — still abundant. Outstanding biodiversity.
