    The path along the Franscinone River runs along a gorge with many bridges and water pipes.
    The river contains rocks made of gray Ceneri gneiss that are over 500 million years old. These boulders were deposited by glaciers. There are also stones made of light dolomite limestone that have slipped from the Denti della Vecchia. There used to be a canal here that carried water to the mills further downstream. There were also various ponds that were used to macerate Hnaf, from which fibers were obtained.
