Nature Reserve Paul de Arzila

The Paul de Arzilla Nature Reserve was established to protect an important, internationally recognized swampy area in the Ribera de Cernach next to the Mondego River, and includes part of the municipalities of Coimbra, Condexa and Montemor o Velho, and includes the valleys of Moinos, Meo and Costa, and a group of dense forests. The extremely diverse flora attracts a large number of animal species, including ducks and various types of herons that make their nests throughout the area.
