Riserva Naturale Speciale dell'Isolotto del Ritano |
Dora Baltea: By Kayak among Nature and History |
 |
| Situated along the fluvial depression of Dora Baltea under the town of Saluggia, the reserve covers an area of 237 hectares in the bag between the Provinces of Vercelli and Torino. Ritano reserve lies in an area mainly used for agricultural purposes and consists of a part of dry land cultivated with poplars and a holm. The landscape has been changed by the floods of September 1993, November 1994, and October 2000, when the river eroded a large strip of riparian land. From a naturalistic point of view, Ritano holm is particularly interesting: here coppice vegetation spontaneously grows with riparian and invasive species like the ash tree, robinia, poplar, willow, elder, and alder. The area is particularly interesting for water sports like kayak, hidrospeed, and fluvial canoe. |
