Piscia di Ghjaddu (Fir-Tree Waterfall)

Highlight • Waterfall

The last few meters to the waterfall are a demanding descent, especially the very last part - only for those with a head for heights and not for children! You can't get all the way down to the waterfall basin, but you do get a pretty good view of it.

Stone Path Across the River

Highlight • Bridge

To reach the viewpoints and the waterfall, you have to cross the small river here. There's no bridge, and even using the existing channels doesn't always allow you to get across without getting your feet wet. The water isn't deep, so the recommendation is: go barefoot!

A very beautiful hiking trail to the "Piscia di Ghjaddo" waterfall. There's a large parking lot (€5 fee in July 2025) with two bars.

The trail is well marked and leads through pine forests and across rocky plains. It's easy to walk.

August 12, 2024,Naturpark Korsika – Wasserfall Piscia du Gallu

An extremely popular destination is the Piscia du Gallu, probably the most impressive waterfall in Corsica. Not only is the waterfall worth seeing, but the path through the Ospedale massif is also beautiful and offers many great views.
The path is well signposted, pines and holm oaks provide shade and you can swim in the Ruisseau de Palavesani. A little …

For the hike, provide closed or open shoes with ankle support, exclude open shoes such as flip-flops. Depending on the heat, provide a bottle of water per person because of the risk of dehydration. The walk can be done both in the shade in the forest and on the rocks in the blazing sun with the refraction of heat on …

Easy walk among woods, with a steep final stretch. Finally, some fresh air. You can start from the lake de l'ospedale, if you want to pay parking (but there you have also bars and restaurants). Find out more at waterwind.it

July 9, 2024,The Cascade de Piscia du Gallu – Parc naturel régional de Corse

An enjoyable walk that is manageable for most people. I arrived at the car park around 9am and there was nothing to pay because the attendant hadn't set up at that time. Starting early in July avoided the crowds and the heat. The last section down to the waterfall needs care and a willingness to almost scramble but again manageable …

A fantastically beautiful hike with a not so easy descent to the waterfall, but it's doable!
