It is located at the point where the river, which originates at Monte Lauro in the Iblei Mountains and runs 52 km, flows. <strong>In &#8216;antiquity, until the early Middle Ages, it was even used as a means of navigation for trade<\/strong>. Then due to deforestation, its range has been reduced considerably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To enjoy this beautiful place and spend an alternative day, you can park comfortably at the entrance to the reserve, where you will find an open space. Remember that it is forbidden to bathe or bring pets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Fiume_Irminio-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"NATURAL RESERVE MOUTH OF THE IRMINIO RIVER\" class=\"wp-image-6743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Fiume_Irminio-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Fiume_Irminio-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Fiume_Irminio-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Fiume_Irminio.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Fiume_Irminio.jpg\">Davide Mauro<\/a> ,<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0\"> CC BY-SA 4.0<\/a> , via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You will walk paths among dwarf palms, agave, willows, eucalyptus and sugar cane accompanied by the sound of the river slowly guiding you to the sea<\/strong>. Along the way, with a little luck, you can also spot migratory birds, foxes, wild bunnies or the friendly nutria. In this regard, a wooden lookout tower was made available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>At the end of the path you will suddenly find yourself on the beach, as if you too had been carried there by the river like a pebble<\/strong>. Precisely the latter and the tree trunks carried by the current make the Irminio river mouth nature reserve a unique place of its kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img
