Oasi Musella is a natural park located in San Martino Buon Albergo, in the province of Verona, considered one of the most extraordinary landscape complexes in the Veneto Region. Thanks to its more than 300 hectares, it offers a remarkable biodiversity characterized by forests, streams, vineyards, olive groves, churches, and housing, making it a unique natural park.
