Parco Mincio

Parco del Mincio is a regional public authority in Lombardy, Italy, dedicated to protecting and enhancing the natural landscapes of the Mincio River area, between Lake Garda, Mantua and the Po. It manages nature reserves and Natura 2000 sites, carries out environmental monitoring and supervision, and plans projects to support the conservation of biodiversity and local ecosystems.

The organization also helps residents and visitors discover the area through practical tourism information, maps, itineraries and visitor centres. Suggested activities include walking and cycling routes, trips on the water, visits to wetlands, parks, forts and castles, and accessible tourism options. Information for campers, canoeists, families, students and other visitors makes it easier to plan a stay suited to different interests.

Parco del Mincio offers environmental education for schools, including class projects, guided outings and summer activities, alongside learning resources for teachers and families. Its website also shares information about local wildlife and plants, research, events and the region’s food traditions, recipes and typical products.
