Bucamante Waterfall

..."From the top of the Sasso you can enjoy a wide panorama that embraces the vast expanse of the Po Valley to the north and to the south, in a closer glimpse, the Montecorone valley."... ..."The herbaceous undergrowth layer of the mesophyte formations is home to numerous species belonging to the list of protected regional flora; there are numerous species of orchids and liliaceae."...

August 2023, the heavy rains of the past months made parts of the "low" path unusable. If before accessing it was within everyone's reach, including children, now it requires greater attention.

From the road, take the dirt road that takes you to the visitor center. For centuries these stones have been used as a military defensive point. First came the Byzantines then the Malatigni family in medieval times. There are paths both on foot and by MTB to see the stones from different angles.

Here we are witnessing a particular geological phenomenon: the Salse di Nirano are sources of muddy and salty water, in which bubbles of gas, especially methane, bubble up.

Very nice, a "massive" peak

watch out for the return on the short route towards Roccamalatina, it could be collapsed

The legend tells of the love story between the shepherd Titiro and the noble lady Odina. The two, despite the opposition of her family, manage to escape together. With the castellans on their backs, Titiro and Odina find only one solution: to seek death together. So they did, throwing themselves hand in hand from one of the waterfalls, finding death in what has since taken the name of 'HOLE OF LOVERS' (Bucamante).
