キュッパーノの滝・トップ9

The Calvene Waterfalls Park (officially 'Franco Totaro Natural Park') is a tranquil setting that combines the natural beauty of the waterfalls and forest with several artworks and installations discovered along the easy trail. Among these, a large, stylized horse made of wood and metal stands out at the beginning. The waterfalls are arranged in a series along the valley floor: they appear very evocative, secluded, surrounded by lush vegetation, with the water cascading over the rock it has shaped and covered in a blanket of lush green moss. It's best to visit after days of heavy rainfall to find them lively and thundering; otherwise, they risk being dry. The waterfalls are easily accessible via the family-friendly trail that winds through the forest. An adventurous alternative (EE/EEA) consists of a secured path (with stirrups, ladders, and metal cables) that runs alongside them and up the stream, climbing between the rocks. The park has certainly seen better days: today (June 2024) it is somewhat abandoned, with the picnic area and swings disused; even the artwork seems neglected. Dilapidated and fascinating. https://www.facebook.com/boscodellecascatecalvene

Unexpected and suggestive waterfall of considerable height that plunges into the gorge dug by the Acquasaliente stream, in the wild valley of the same name. It can only be admired from above and from afar, because the deep ravine makes it inaccessible!

The Valle dell'Orco del Tretto (there are valleys of the same name almost everywhere) is wild, lush, adverse, fresh; deeply dug by the torrent which creates spectacular, high ravines, whirlpools, waterfalls and whirlpools. 'Ogre' is the name of the waterway, but this dark and forbidding valley is well suited as the home of an ogre! Also noteworthy is the presence of various artificial works, often in the middle of the woods, which reveal a complex system for exploiting the abundant water resources of the valley over the centuries: a small dam, canals, locks, concrete walkways. If it has rained, it is very humid, muddy and slippery: some sections are exposed to the ravine with drops of at least ten metres, without protection; in several places the path can be interrupted by the stream for 2-3 metres; to continue you have to cross it and put your shoes in the water; the track is easy to miss and some segments are a jungle! An adventurous journey full of unexpected views, but to be approached with attention and knowledge. However, there are several variations that allow you to avoid the most difficult sections.

There were the first caolin mines started. This raw material was found in the soil and its used to create pottery.

Limited park, but really pretty! visited in autumn it is really pleasant and evocative. Perfect with children to spend half a day immersed in nature. The park is free to access. I recommend a complete change for children, there is a stream and waterfalls... they won't be able to resist! To reach it, type "Franco Totaro Natural Park" on Maps. https://www.facebook.com/parcodellacascate/

no particular suggestion .... if not to go through here.

Short stretch of single-track path without particular difficulties, where in the first part you descend crossing a bridge formed of concrete beams and in the second, for muscular bikes you will have to hike a little instead, for e-bikes, if not it's too wet, they go up quietly. The place deserves to be seen for its naturalistic beauty; the small flowing stream, the small waterfall formed by a single huge stone smoothed by the flowing water, the view from above where you can see the waterfall, the flowing water and all the green of the forest that surrounds you ....

Beautiful waterfall and small stream to cross; perfect for children to experience a pinch of adventure. Also reachable from Acquasaliente.
