Here the steep course of the Rabbi river flows into a whirlpool and forms a waterfall that overwhelms the depressions between the rocks, until it pours into a spectacular abyss, under an ancient 17th-century stone bridge. The noise generated by the water and amplified by the natural acoustics is such that this place has always been called the screaming cave.

The access and maintainance around the cave is in really bad shape. You don’t really get to enjoy any of the views in its current state. It is a pity... I hope they will take better care of the site in the future.

Hiking

Streams, gorges, waterfalls, caves and cool pools to dive into and large, flat, smooth rocks where you can sunbathe while being lulled by the sound of the flowing water, amplified by the natural acoustics, making it sound like a scream.
