In the hinterland of the village of Castel di Tora, immersed in the woods, you can see this waterfall, easily reachable with a pedestrian path suitable for everyone, with due attention. Given that, like all waterfalls, the effect depends on the quantity of water that descends into the valley, which in turn is determined by the meteorological trend (the best time to visit the waterfalls is usually late spring - we were there at end of April - but a lot depends on the rains that fell in the days preceding the visit; for the alpine ones summer is also good for the melting of the snow at high altitude), it is not a copious waterfall, as the flow rate is modest of the watercourse that forms it (essentially a ditch/stream) but the main drop (the one further upstream) is of considerable height (about 12 metres) and the surrounding context, both for the rocks and the vegetation, is of absolute interest; a small bridge in front of the waterfall makes it easier to see. Immediately downstream of the main waterfall there are other waterfalls.
The path (E13) that leads to the waterfall starts on the right of via Rio, about 30 meters after the crossroads that leads to the La Posta farmhouse on the left; just before this last crossroads, an open space on the left allows you to park two/three cars. Alternatively, you must leave your car downstream, in the large car park near the Carabinieri station, from which you must then take via delle Crete and then turn left after approximately 60 metres, following the road which then, after 230 metres, near a deviation on the left to be ignored, it becomes via Rio: the latter, to be followed for 500 metres, is steeply sloped and for us, who had parked in the aforementioned car park, it represented the hardest part of the itinerary. As for the path, traveling along it does not present any particular problems, but keep in mind that, except for the final part where it enters the woods, it is a sunny route. After passing a picnic spot, the path begins to descend and after crossing a small bridge it forks: on the left it proceeds on level ground, while on the right it descends with steps carved into the rock and a wooden fence as a support: you must take this the last one that goes down on the right. The only point of the path that could show some difficulty is the final stretch that goes up from the waterfalls to the main jump: here two consecutive steps have disappeared and in their place there is a wet and slippery limestone rock (with a little attention the obstacle can be easily overcome). The duration of the trail obviously depends on the pace, but I would say to estimate 20/25 minutes.

Ho scoperto questa cascata per caso e sono rimasto piacevolmente sorpreso per la sua bellezza. Per arrivarci e' necessario prima seguire una strada di campagna e poi un sentiero un po' più impegnativo. Ma nulla di particolarmente complicato. Mia figlia di 6 anni non ha avuto difficoltà. Immerse nel verde con diversi e caratteristici ponticelli sopra pozze naturali e acqua che scorre. Le visiterò di nuovo nella stagione invernale dove immagino la portata dell' acqua sarà maggiore. Consigliate.

Salve a tutti.
Dopo aver parcheggiato lungo la strada (perchè non ci sono parcheggi) si arriva a queste cascate percorrendo circa 600 metri di strata sterrata in mezzo alla campagna e poi altri 100 metri circa in mezzo a un bosco, scendendo dei gradini: il percorso è abbastanza disagevole, infatti sono consigliate scarpe da trekking, ma la discesa è accompagnata da un corrimano di legno.
Si arriva quindi ad una bellissima radura con numerosi, piccoli laghetti di acqua cristallina, mentre la cascata è solo nel nome perchè è un rivolo di acqua circondato da fleci e piante acquatiche.
Comunque molto bello.

In realtà sono cascate molto piccole che generano pozze di acqua a valle, magari non si parte appositamente per queste da casa, però trovandosi già in gita a Castel di Tora, vale la pena fare una passeggiata nella natura seguendo il sentiero (ben evidenziato) con scalini naturali per raggiungerle.
In autunno il paesaggio è ancor più bello e rilassante.

This place near Castel di Tora deserves your attention. After a 20 minute walk after parking your car along a wall near the sign indicating the waterfalls, you will find a cool and truly beautiful place. I dipped my feet in the freezing water and it was really pleasant. Fortunately, when I was there, no one was there, but as soon as I returned to the dirt road near the bench before accessing the waterfalls, a lot of people arrived! I think that to see them alone you have to go there in the morning before 10am. And I was there on a Monday, I think it's much busier at the weekend at least in August. Anyway, have a good visit to this beautiful corner of our beautiful province. Good refreshment to you people of TripAdvisor.

Ci si arriva seguendo una strada sterrata con un ultimo tratto di gradoni di legno (da fare fino in fondo). Non è impegnativo, c'è un po' di dislivello ma il tutto non è più lungo di 20 min. Si entra dalla campagna aperta al fresco del bosco con il suono del ruscello che ti accompagna mentre leggi bellissime iscrizioni in legno e ti godi la piccola ma deliziosa cascata

L'ingresso è anonimo, scarsamente segnalato,ma non è difficile trovarlo.Si cammina su strada sterrata,in mezzo alla natura. Dopo una bella salita si arriva al primo step. Una piccola cascata immersa nel verde con vasche naturali d'acqua. Se avete fiato e forza nelle gambe ,completate il percorso salendo dei gradoni che vi conducono ad un'altra cascata ( non aspettatevi le Cascate delle Marmore!). Anche qui potete ammirare il suono dell'acqua,il verde brillante,la parete rocciosa erosa dall'acqua.Vale la fatica!

Valorizzarla di più non farebbe male, anche la strada che porta alla cascata è di campagna breccia terra scomodo al massimo, dopo la scarpinata non ci si pente di averla visitata.

purtroppo a settembre c'era poca acqua, andate con scarpe adatte perchè il percorso per arrivare è molto dissestato, il bosco è molto bello
