Discover more about Foce del Biferno

The Foce del Biferno marks the point where the Biferno River, the main river of Molise, flows into the Adriatic Sea. This estuarine environment, spanning approximately 817 hectares, is characterized by a unique blend of freshwater and marine ecosystems. The area is defined by wetlands, coastal dunes, and brackish meadows, creating a rich habitat for diverse plant and animal life. Historically, the Biferno River has played a crucial role in the region's landscape and economy. The river originates in the Matese mountains and travels for about 93 kilometers through the Campobasso province. Over time, the river's course and the surrounding area have been shaped by both natural processes and human activities. The construction of the Liscione Lake, an artificial basin in the mid-valley, has significantly impacted the river's flow and sediment deposition at the mouth. Today, the Foce del Biferno faces environmental challenges, including erosion, saltwater intrusion, and the threat of building development. Conservation efforts, such as the European Project Life Maestrale, aim to preserve the area's natural heritage and promote sustainable practices. Visitors can explore the area's natural beauty, observe local flora and fauna, and appreciate the tranquil meeting point of the river and the sea.
