A pleasant walk, especially in summer, as the outward route takes you through the woods. The only tricky bit is towards the end, on the way down to the waterfall… In fact, we really needed the Visorendo app to find the waterfall. The yellow markers are still just about visible, but even so…
Best avoided in wet weather as the descent is a bit slippery, and walking poles come in very handy then.
The view of the waterfall is magnificent; there was only one couple there. They confirmed that in summer it gets very busy, as many people drive up to admire this natural beauty... Indeed, from the road, it’s just a short climb of about 500 metres to get there.
We returned via the road, but there wasn’t a single car in sight, so it was very peaceful.
Thank you for this hike.

Monotonous route under the trees, with few interesting views (streams almost dry when we passed) and no visible landmarks. It is best to bring a GPS hiking app to avoid getting lost on a few false trails that lead nowhere. Sometimes very slippery (leaves and granite sand on steep slopes). Perhaps an option if you want to pick mushrooms or chestnuts (at the start of the route on the side of the road).

A very beautiful hike to the waterfall, although much of the return journey is along a road. However, this isn't too much of a problem, or you can return via the same route to stay in the shade.

It's a shame this one leaks more than before.

Well shaded, the yellow markings have faded a little and are difficult to spot. The final descent to the waterfall is very steep and slippery. The return trip by road is not difficult. We pass some pigs, which we find again at the Mannei charcuterie. Not to be missed...

There were no markings at the start of the route, which runs mostly through the forest... luckily we had GPS.
We even heard gunshots: the hunters weren't far away.
As we got closer to the waterfall, we found some yellow markings... but it had rained the day before, so the paths were very rutted and difficult to see...
A beautiful waterfall in the end...

Very pretty waterfall that is easy to access, but wear good shoes as it is a bit of a climb in a damp area. The waterfall has a good flow and you can get closer by climbing over a few well-placed rocks to reach it.

A lovely route, mostly shaded by the forest. Take care on the descents and make sure you have good footwear.

Actually, we couldn't have been very far away... If we had known we could drive back up the road, I would have continued, but then I'm not sure if it would have been safe to walk all the way back to the village, since the car was still there...

Bona sera,
Thank you for your comment.
It's a shame you turned back, you had almost made it!
The descent is steep, but not dangerous, as you stay on the trail. The return journey is along the road and is not difficult.
See you soon!

Be warned: these are very difficult hikes. The descent along the waterfall, which you cannot see but can hear, is endless and really not easy, especially knowing that you have to climb back up afterwards...
We turned back before reaching the top because we really didn't know how much further we had to go.
In the end, we drove there, parking 3.5 km before the village of Bocognano and walking a few minutes uphill to a beautiful viewpoint at the bottom of the waterfall.
