Montauto Nature Reserve

The Montuato Nature Reserve extends for a total of 199 hectares inside the municipality of Manciano, on the border with Lazio and the Vulci Oasis.

The area is characterized by a water basin and a quarry, which is no longer in use, and includes a stretch of the Fiora River. The vegetation near the pits contains silica and poplar trees, while on the surrounding halls, you can find the Mediterranean scrub and forests of oak and maple trees.

Many animals also live in the area, including otters, which swim in the clear waters of the Fiora, as well as osprey, owls, grey herons and hen harriers, and mammals like weasels, wolves, porcupines, roe deer and skunks. Shrimp also live in the river.
