Europe's only triple watershed is located at the Lunghin Pass. From here the water flows either via the Rhine into the North Sea, via the Danube into the Black Sea or via the Po into the Mediterranean.

Hiking

Particularly famous for being the watershed between the Po, the Rhine and the Danube. In fact, towards the north-west you reach the North Sea through the Giulia, Albula and Reno rivers, towards the south-west you reach the Mediterranean through the Mera river, Lake Como, the Adda river and the Po and towards the east you reach the Black Sea through the Inn and the Danube. This is why it is also named the Three Seas Pass.
