Tetto Lupo lakes in the river park Gesso e Stura just north of the confluence of the two streams, laying among fields and rows of poplars, are a destination for many species of birds along a busy pedestrian and cycle path.
The birdwatching screen is a linear architecture following the path and the edge of the main lake, lined by the timber stripes and by its openings, with a compact edge towards the bridge and Cuneo and the opposite one fading into woods and fields.
Openings at different heights allow standing or sitting observation of different views of the lake and the woods, the lower ones are dedicated to children and the most curious visitors. The seat is also a rest point for cyclists and walkers, information boards illustrate the activity of birdwatching and the wildlife hosted by the lakes
