Take a Walk on the Wild Side!

Originally developed as a summer getaway for foreigners, Picchio is an amazing place to visit no matter what time of the year it is. Each season, there's something different to for visitors to see. There are 80 different species of birds in the forest along with Asian Black Bears, Serows and Flying Squirrels. They even build an ice-skating rink in the forest during the winter season.
