Acquacheta Waterfalls - Part I
admin May 20th, 2007
A very cool itinerary for the lovers of nature and walking is the “Acquacheta Waterfalls” one. They’re located nearby “Forlì-Cesena” in the tusco-emilian mountains called “Appennini”. We went there in may 2003, and I’m sure all of you remember how hot was that year! However the course is made for the most part from shadowed paths and a thick green vegetation (as you can admire in the photos below, depicting the beginning of the way).
a stoned path lead us into the beginning of the journey…
on the left there’s already the river, even if in the picture it’s hidden
The route is not hard at all, goes up slightly but you can do it (starting from the town of S.Benedetto in Alpe) in about 2 hours.
The cool thing about the route is that the path borders the river for most of it, and so you have the impression of walking side by side with the river itself.
The forest is made of beeches, oaks and chestnuts, typical of the “Foreste Casentinesi”. The green of their foliage is simply wonderful and adds a sort of magic to the place.
A wooden bridge that you’ll encounter during your way.
A stone house we met during the route, I don’t remember anymore if it was just an abandoned house, or a shelter of some kind.
