Description
Monte Reixa is a mountain in the protected area of Parco naturale regionale del Beigua and part of the Ligurian Appennines. The diversity of environments that are found during this walk allows you to observe various species of birds, from small passerines such as Crested Tit and Pied Flycatcher in places rich in vegetation to Dotterel, Tawny Pipit and raptors in the grassy areas or on the rocky peaks. Especially recommended during migration periods where it is possible to observe, with a bit of luck, Short-toed Snake Eagle , European Honey-buzzard , Lesser Kestrel , Booted Eagle, Common Crane and occasionally even Griffon Vulture.
The path leads you to pass through the dense forest and then open into large grassy or rocky clearings. Note: It is strongly recommended to always follow the path.

It is possible to insert the summit of Reixa in longer, circular itineraries, starting from different locations in the municipality of Genoa (for example Sambuco, Fabbriche or Crevari) and also covering sections of the Alta Via.
