Iseo
Iseo has traditionally been a railway hub for the north-west area of the province of Brescia. As the terminus of the original line, over time it also became the terminus of the Val Camonica railway, and subsequently the branch line leading to Rovato.
Although it had always been a hub for trade via lake navigation, the construction of the railway meant that it took on a much more prominent role in the area's transport system: in the early 20th century, this system was beginning to economically involve the valley's wealth of resources, which it was now able to transport more efficiently.

Close to Iseo is the La Riserva Naturale delle Torbiere del Sebino, declared as a “wetland of international importance” by the Ramsar Convention and a Site of Community Importance (SCI) by Rete Natura 2000, it is considered a priority area for biodiversity in the Lombard Po Valley. This is owing to the variety of aquatic and marsh habitats and species present in the area, which are valuable or of community interest, and are rare or at risk of extinction in Lombardy and Italy. It covers an area of 360 hectares, mainly consisting of reed beds and ponds, surrounded by farmland, roads and houses. These include: the Lame (a large expanse of ponds bounded by embankments, the result of the excavation of a peat deposit), the Lamette (a kind of peat lagoon to the north, on the lake), some pools to the south and west (the result of the excavation of clay deposits, 10-15 metres deep and clearer in appearance, in some of which fishing is still permitted), some adjacent meadows and crop fields.
