The Calvene Waterfalls Park (officially 'Franco Totaro Natural Park') is a tranquil setting that combines the natural beauty of the waterfalls and forest with several artworks and installations discovered along the easy trail. Among these, a large, stylized horse made of wood and metal stands out at the beginning. The waterfalls are arranged in a series along the valley floor: they appear very evocative, secluded, surrounded by lush vegetation, with the water cascading over the rock it has shaped and covered in a blanket of lush green moss. It's best to visit after days of heavy rainfall to find them lively and thundering; otherwise, they risk being dry. The waterfalls are easily accessible via the family-friendly trail that winds through the forest. An adventurous alternative (EE/EEA) consists of a secured path (with stirrups, ladders, and metal cables) that runs alongside them and up the stream, climbing between the rocks. The park has certainly seen better days: today (June 2024) it is somewhat abandoned, with the picnic area and swings disused; even the artwork seems neglected. Dilapidated and fascinating. https://www.facebook.com/boscodellecascatecalvene

The Valle dei Gorghi Scuri is a fascinating and narrow impluvium full of waterfalls, natural pools, whirlpools and lively waterways formed by the Valletta stream, which originates right here. As a frame, a florid and lush vegetation of ferns and moss. The path starts from the hamlet of Capo di Sopra, along a dirt road that runs along the rising gorge carved out by the stream from above, where the first water features can be glimpsed; from here you reach the upper part, the most evocative and fairy-tale-like, where you can venture off-track, as far as the water and rocks allow depending on the season. I recommend the route after the rains, even if the path can be slippery (EE), and in spring/summer, when very green and lush vegetation frames the water.

Limited park, but really pretty! visited in autumn it is really pleasant and evocative. Perfect with children to spend half a day immersed in nature. The park is free to access. I recommend a complete change for children, there is a stream and waterfalls... they won't be able to resist! To reach it, type "Franco Totaro Natural Park" on Maps. https://www.facebook.com/parcodellacascate/

Short stretch of single-track path without particular difficulties, where in the first part you descend crossing a bridge formed of concrete beams and in the second, for muscular bikes you will have to hike a little instead, for e-bikes, if not it's too wet, they go up quietly. The place deserves to be seen for its naturalistic beauty; the small flowing stream, the small waterfall formed by a single huge stone smoothed by the flowing water, the view from above where you can see the waterfall, the flowing water and all the green of the forest that surrounds you ....
