Taking the bike lane from the centre of Porto Potenza Picena going northward, you reach an area of local flora called the “Protected Oasis – Park of the Small Lakes,” characterised by the presence of small freshwater lakes abounding in water birds, both resident and migratory, and lush flora of thousands of trees and shrubs and green meadows. A pedestrian trail and a bike path encircle the entire perimeter of the water. The environmental characteristics of the Oasis are favourable to the presence of 158 bird species of which 32 are nesting birds and 43 are wintering birds. The Park of the Small Lakes was included among the protected flora areas of the Marche Region in 1997.
