It is the historic route of the falls that links the upper to the lower outlook. It was built with the Specola using the slope where the waters of the Paolino channel flowed down during the ancient time. It has an average difficulty and about 150 metres of a difference in height. The time needed is 40 minutes uphill and 25 minutes downhill. The route has, in some parts, natural ground and in some parts wooded stairs. During the walk you will be in a fantastic world of vegetation and caves, but you can’t see the falls; you can see it only when you reach the tunnel called the lover’s balcony. When you arrived there, you will be under the highest drop of the falls and appreciate the freshness of the water, having a shower! So we advise you a raincoat.
