Waterfalls of Sappada
The hidden waterfalls in the village
About this place
The 15 small waterfalls are located in a narrow gorge carved by the Mühlbach stream, whose waters start from below the Olbe Lakes and run fast and rushing all the way to Sappada. To admire them, one follows the flow of the stream in reverse by crossing the narrow and steep canyon. One of the special features is that, thanks to the winding course of the canyon, the small waterfalls are uncovered little by little, until, at the end of the trail, we reach the main waterfall, which, with a 20-meter drop, produces a thunderous sound and creates a subtle cool mist in the air. The path along the gorge is also very impressive in the evening and can be visited in the summer when it is illuminated until 11 pm.
