The opening stop of our tour is the Paradiso Fish Park, a densely forested river area of 130,000 square metres that was once part of the Adda river, later converted into a site for intensive fish farming following the digging of three canals and numerous ponds.   Over time, it gained several species of river plants (bur-reed, common reed, common and dwarf bulrush and network covering rushes), a sizeable wildlife population (moorhens, coots, grey herons) and a small variety of birdlife (including kingfishers and ospreys), the fish farm became a naturalistic facility open to the public. Today, the Paradiso Fish Park is a natural oasis where visitors can enjoy a beautiful day out in the open air: in addition to 6000 plants, 20 species of fish (including eel, tench, pike, chubs and river trout) can be admired in the 3 km stretch of canals and windowed underwater observatories. The characteristic features of each species are displayed on explanatory signs placed along the route. Adding to the charm of the place are a small farm with cows, goats and rabbits and a fun playground with Tibetan bridges, slides and climbing ropes.   (Ph: parcoittico.it)

Created by the Rotary Club Valle Staffora in collaboration with the Nuova Pro Loco and the Municipality of Retorbido, the Big Bench, the giant bench, is part of the Big Bench Community Project, number 124 of the project. The Big Bench located in Retorbido was installed in the airy and peaceful tranquility of the "colle delle Torricelle" (hill of Torricelle), from where you can enjoy an enviable panorama that spans from the Maritime Alps to the Brescia Prealps. From the hill, you can enjoy incredible views of the surrounding vineyards, the Madonna del Monte of Rivanazzano, and Retorbido itself. The more keen observers claim that, in particular weather conditions, it is even possible to see the monastery of the Sacra di San Michele, an iconic symbol of the Piedmont region, located at the entrance to the Val di Susa. To reach the bench, enter Retorbido from the roundabout of Bressana-Salice Terme, cross the village until you reach Via Torricelle. We suggest parking your car in Via Meardi and walking up Via Torricelle to the bench. The bench is also accessible by bike from the nearby GreenWay Voghera Varzi. For those who love walks and landscapes, for those who love running and wellness, 5 km of pure nature and relaxation with L'ANELLO DI RETORBIDO, 5 KM BETWEEN BIG BENCH, NATURE, AND LANDSCAPES.
