Hiking

The Valle dei Mulini is an enchanted place, which goes up a long and narrow gorge to the Darden cave, so called because of the sparrowhawks that nest there. The path is an interesting itinerary: long wooden walkways run alongside the stream, which creates jumps and waterfalls. There are also the forges of Prato San Pietro, evidence of the ancient origins of the iron industry in this area of Valsassina.

Hiking

Trail interrupted at the second bridge about 500 meters from the start of the trail. If you want to continue you must cross the river on foot. Dangerous.
