Waterfalls in
Friuli Venezia Giulia
Ideal period: spring - summer - autumn
What to expect
The wild force of nature creating a unique spectacle of water, air and rock. The Friuli region is rich in picturesque corners where a rare sight can be admired: waterfalls. In the midst of the magical and unspoilt nature of Friuli Venezia Giulia, waterfalls of varying heights gush forth, some better known, others less so, sometimes because they are more difficult to reach. Hidden waterfalls in the middle of the woods, jumps that alternate with streams or deep erosion pools, waterfalls above emerald pools that become oases of relaxation.
