Persano Oasis – Silent nature along the Sele river. The Oasis of Persano, located along the course of the Sele river, is a nature reserve of rare beauty in the heart of Campania. One of the most important wetlands in Italy, it is a paradise for lovers of nature, birdwatching and tranquility. 🦆 Biodiversity and uncontaminated environments: The oasis is home to an extraordinary variety of animal and plant species. Among the protagonists are the otter, symbol of the oasis, numerous species of water birds, amphibians, butterflies and rare plants. All in a landscape that alternates reeds, ponds, woods and clearings. 👉 Tip: Bring binoculars and a bird recognition guide – spotting local species is an exciting experience. 🌳 Paths in the quiet: The Oasis is crossed by educational trails and routes suitable for everyone, which allow you to explore the natural environment in a sustainable way. Observation huts, information boards and viewpoints make the visit engaging and informative. 👉 Tip: Visit the oasis in spring or autumn to enjoy the seasonal colors and the increased wildlife activity. 🏛️ Culture and rural landscape: The area of Persano is also linked to an ancient Bourbon estate and preserves traces of a rural culture that is still alive. The cultivated fields, the ancient stables and the farmhouses dialogue with the natural landscape, offering an authentic cross-section of the lesser-known Campania. 👉 Tip: Stop to discover the village of Serre, not far away: quiet, panoramic and rich in local history. 🍃 Environmental education and sustainable tourism: The oasis is managed in collaboration with the WWF and represents a model of protection and awareness. Workshops, guided tours and activities for schools make the Oasis a place to learn respect for the environment while having fun. 👉 Tip: Contact the visitor center for a guided tour with experts to learn more about the delicate balance of this ecosystem. 🏡 A peaceful corner between the river and the hills: The Persano Oasis is perfect for those looking for an alternative day at the sea or in the city. It is easily accessible from Salerno and the inland areas of Campania, ideal for a trip out of town in contact with nature. 👉 Tip: Have a picnic on the banks of the Sele (in the permitted areas): the sound of the water and the singing of birds will be the perfect soundtrack. The Persano Oasis is a refuge of silence and beauty, where nature reveals itself to those who know how to observe. A place that teaches you to slow down and listen, in harmony with the water, the earth and the sky.
