ナッレス-ナレスの滝・トップ20

Just a few minutes' walk from the center of Lana, a completely different world opens up: the Gaul Gorge at the foot of the castle hill of Braunsberg Castle. Steep rocky slopes rise up on both sides, the river Falschauer babbles over the stony stream bed and even in midsummer the temperatures between the cool rock walls are pleasantly cool. Completely different types of rock come together here: between the quartz porphyry and the primary rock of the Old Gneisse, there is also a narrow strip of granite. Only a narrow strip of land between the massive rocks leads over the unspoiled mountain stream. From the Gaulwiese, a well-secured path leads over suspension bridges, past a roaring waterfall, further into the wildly romantic and increasingly narrow gorge; or up to Braunsberg Castle with a beautiful view over Lana.

Some people start gasping for breath 😉

The path leads us over two suspension bridges to the end of the part of the Gaul Gorge that is open to visitors.

The lake has a surface of 10,000 m². It is an artificial reservoir that, perfectly integrated into its alpine environment. The lake was created in 1964 by damming the Rio Fondo.

A really very strenuous staircase. No step is like the other, sometimes very high to walk on.

The path leads us down a few wooden stairs to the Felix waterfall. Since the steps are different heights, the descent and subsequent ascent is quite exhausting.

This beautiful lake is Lago Smeraldo. A nearby restaurant invites you to stop by.

Lake Smeraldo is in Fondo, in the upper Val di Non. It has a surface of 10,000 m². The lake was created in 1964 by damming the Rio Fondo. It has a small beach for those who want to relax in the sun or take a dip in the water.
