A green oasis situated right outside the city of Lecce. The regional park “Bosco e paludi di Rauccio” is a protected area since 2002.
Il Parco di Rauccio si estende per quasi 1600 ettari nel territorio leccese, in direzione Torre Chianca, e racchiude un inestimabile patrimonio di biodiversità. Quel che resta dell’antica Foresta di Lecce è oggi ancora visibile proprio in questa zona, dove si trovano numerosi alberi di leccio.
Due fiumi scorrono nel parco, l’Idume e il Fetida, che attraversano la macchia mediterranea a poca distanza dall’ampia zona umida detta specchia della Milogna. Lentisco, mirto e la rara orchidea palustre sono solo alcune delle varietà vegetali presenti, mentre la ricca fauna comprende esemplari di rospo smeraldino, raganella italiana e tasso.
A Rauccio si fermano ogni anno migliaia di uccelli migratori, che qui trovano un ambiente ideale, come upupe e tortore. Dagli appostiti capanni per l’osservazione dell’avifauna sono stati avvistati anche dei cigni.
