The pools of Erve have a peculiarity: you have to go looking for the best ones. In this second part of the path there are certainly the most beautiful pools for swimming, with waterfalls and natural slides. But they are also the most populated in the high season. Don't worry: the most experienced and well-equipped hikers will be able to find more solitary corners by browsing around.

The Sentiero San Carlo ad Erve is a hiking trail that not only offers beautiful views of the surrounding mountains, but also includes some of the most fascinating natural features of the area, such as the pools and waterfalls that flow from the Fiume S. Carlo stream.

The trail, which passes through woods and clearings, is known for its natural pools, small lagoons formed by water flowing over rocks, creating fascinating natural pools. These pools are the ideal place for a refreshing break during the hike, and some sections of the trail allow you to observe waterfalls that slide between the rocks, creating suggestive and relaxing scenarios.

The waterfalls, which develop along the course of the stream, add a further element of beauty to the trail, with the water that noisily descends between the rocks, fueling the sensation of being in a pristine corner of nature. These sections are particularly loved by hikers looking for an immersive experience in a serene natural environment rich in water.

The Sentiero San Carlo is therefore not only a panoramic walk but also an opportunity to discover these small natural wonders, with the possibility of taking a break near the pools or waterfalls, enjoying the tranquility of the place. The excursion is particularly fascinating in spring and autumn, when the landscape is more lush and the water flows abundantly.
