Orrido di Bellano, Natural gorge and waterfall in Bellano, Italy.
The Orrido di Bellano features a network of footbridges attached to rock walls, allowing visitors to observe the flowing waters of Pioverna River beneath.
The gorge formed over 15 million years through glacial waters and erosion from the Pioverna Stream, creating deep cavities in the limestone rock.
The stone entrance dates from the 1700s, while the pentagonal structure known as Ca del Diavol contains frescoes depicting devil figures from the 1840s.
The site opens daily from April to September between 10:00-13:00 and 14:30-19:00, with admission costing 3 euros for adults and 2.50 euros for children.
The water rushing through the narrow canyon creates thunderous echoes in the caves, leading to its name Orrido, which translates to horrific in Italian.
