On the south shore of Lake Iseo is the "Torbiere del Sebino" nature reserve covering 360 hectares. This wetland, formed from 18th century peat beds, situated between lake and hills is a paradise for bird-watching. 17 bird species nest in the wetland. In late spring the pools are awash with waterlilies.
