A unique and exciting show you can experience in he Butterfly Arc of Montegrotto Terme, in the surroundings of the Euganean hills: hundreds of colourful butterflies flying free in a miniature tropical forest.

The structure consists of a glass greenhouse filled with lush plants including palms, banana trees, orchids and passiflora that mimic the tropical climate, thus allowing the butterflies to live in absolute freedom, all under the amazed eyes of the visitors. They are born, grow and "pampered" here.

Valle Averto natural oasis extends for nearly 200 ha on the southern part of the Venetian lagoon in the locality of Lugo di Campagna Lupia. It is a biotope that was commissioned to be managed by the WWF. Its international importance has been acknowledged by the Ministry of the Environment and it is on the list of "fishing valleys", or lagoon wetlands which for centuries have been used for lagoon fish breeding.

The G. Lorenzoni Alpine Botanical Gardens are in a central position with respect to the Cansiglio plateau. On a calcareous area of approximately 3 ha, the Garden accommodates the flora and vegetation of the Cansiglio-Col Nudo-Cavallo massif, a complex of diverse environments, meadows, humid places, rocks and woodland. This extensive area surrounding the garden is highly complex and therefore potentially suitable for accommodating diverse habitats.
