The "Pisciarotta" of Farfarà

Print

From Cervara you follow the dirt road leading to the Lago Verde (the Green Lake), a beautiful sheet of water surrounded by beeches at 1000 m above sea level. From here, we suggest to walk along the road in the wood until you reach, just after a kilometre, an equipped course downhill  leading to the river.

La Pisciarotta della Farfarà


Once you have crossed it, you follow the path that leads with a short  sloping tract to a lookout from which you can see the jump of the changeable  waterfall (this is due to the discontinuity of the river flow.
The difference of level is above thirty m and the water falls into a series of some following  small lakes that you can reach, with  a bit of difficulty,  by going up again the same river from the initial ford.
The waterfall is plunged in a particularly interesting environment, considered until a few decades ago by the local population  ,  for its farmings and its pastures.
