It’s located near Sant’Albano Stura, close to the Stura river. In a former quarry a new “birdwatchers oasis” has been created, the whole area fenced. There are two lakes around which are scattered some birdwatching huts and one observation turret. Of course the area is very well fit for dragonflywatchers as well. Logistic information can be found on the website: www.oasimadonnina.eu.
