The lake that we propose you to visit is part of a system of artificial wetlands located in the Marecchia riverbed between Rimini and Sant’Arcangelo di Romagna. Among these basins, the Incal System lake, from the name of the dealership firm of the excavation activities, is certainly the most interesting, even if its ornithological importance depends above all on the presence of the vast system of wetlands located in that portion of the river. In fact, lakes of the former quarry, ponds and watercourse create an environmental mosaic in which the different species of waterfowl find diversity of environments and resources, with the possibility of creating many ecological niches.
