Macchia Lucchese
In Macchia Lucchese there are several easily accessible roads and trails. The itineraries created in Macchia Lucchese give the opportunity to cross and discover two very significant environments of the Park of great naturalistic interest: the woodland and the coast. In the woodland, walking in silence among ilex trees, alders, ashes, English oaks, and stone pines, it will be possible to hear the pounding work of the woodpecker looking for food on the old pines and, crossing the backdune woodland areas, rich in maritime pines, phyllirea, strawberry trees, and juniper trees, we will reach the dune areas representing the largest, most complete and best preserved example of coastal vegetation.
Thanks to the project "Life Natura Dune Tosca", backdune wetlands have been re-created: they are very important areas for migratory birds and for the reproduction of many species of amphibians. Moreover, exotic species and weeds, damaging the balance and biodiversity of this extremely delicate environment, have been eradicated.
