Description

Parco delle Cascine is a citypark in Florence that despite being very popular, has many internal paths suitable for birdwatching. Especially in the internal part of the Otto Viottoli up to the Ponte all'Indiano. There are various small, uncrowded paths that cross the heart of the small wooded area of the area. Among the birds you can see in the park are Eurasian Green Woodpecker, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Tawny Owl, Eurasian Hoopoe, Eurasian Nuthatch, European Serin, Rose-ringed Parakeet, White Wagtail and Grey Wagtail.

_________________________

Italiano: Grande area verde all'interno di Firenze città. Il parco pur essendo molto frequentato da vari sortivi presenta molti viottoli interni adatti al birdwatching, specialmente nella parte interna degli Otto Viottoli fino al Ponte all'Indiano. Ci sono vari piccoli sentieri poco frequentati che attraversano il cuore del piccolo areale boschivo della zona, qui passeriformi e picidi fanno da padroni.

Access

By car to Piazzale del Re or on foot and by bicycle. I highly recommend the bicycle in order to be able to move better between the paths and if you have time to go to Lastra a Signa or to Lake Peretola.

Italiano: In macchina fino Piazzale del Re o a piedi e in bicicletta. Consiglio vivamente la bicicletta in modo tale da poter muoversi meglio fra i viottoli e se si ha tempo andare verso Lastra a Signa o al Lago di Peretola.
