Final waterfall

Unfortunately, a very noisy quarry directly below the waterfall

Following the course of the Trallo it is therefore possible to retrace a part of the history of Brusimpiano: some remains of the mills are still visible. The area is also characteristic from a mineralogical and fossiliferous point of view, as the abandoned mine shows. The arrival point is a suggestive waterfall of clear water that falls from a height of about ten meters into a pool dug into the rock, like in a glass of champagne, forming foam, dust and rainbows. From there the Trallo begins its course, silent and slow, descending in leaps into the narrow gorge of the valley. Source: www.visitbrusimpiano.com

Comfortable location. Prices a bit overpriced.

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.
