Cascata Cadramazzo
The waterfall split in 2
About this place
The Cadramazzo waterfall surprises the visitor with its spectacular 85 m plunge. The water rushes from the top of the rock with a 40 m drop, bounces into a natural pool overflowing impetuously, and then plunges into the crystal-clear pool below. As you approach on foot, you can hear the roar of the waters, and as you get under the waterfall and look down on it, you can feel its power.
The place is accessible to everyone, even families with children, and the short walk allows you to enjoy a rare and wild naturalistic sight.

Why visit
01.
You can see it from the cycle path
Travelling along the Alpe Adria cycle route, near the bridge over the old railway, one cannot fail to notice the Cadramazzo waterfall. To enjoy a refreshing break, you can leave your bike and descend a steep path to find yourself at the foot of this majestic waterfall.
02.
2 waterfalls in 1
The Cadramazzo waterfall is 85 m high, but when admiring it from a distance, the viewer has the impression of seeing two separate waterfalls. This is because, after the first jump of 40 m, the water bounces forcefully off the rock and reaches the bottom with a second 45 m jump.
03.
