Cascata delle Ninfe, Waterfall in Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo, Italy

Cascata delle Ninfe is a waterfall on the Scerto torrent, a stream in the Camosciara integral nature reserve of Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park, between Civitella Alfedena and Pescasseroli. The slightly acidic water has cut a deep channel through dolomite rock, so the fall sits recessed between rock walls. It is one of several drops on the Scerto, alongside the Cascata delle Tre Cannelle.

The Scerto torrent cut its bed into dolomite rock, and its slightly acidic water deepened the gorge that holds the Cascata delle Ninfe and the nearby Cascata delle Tre Cannelle. The falls lie within the Riserva naturale integrale della Camosciara, in the Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise, between Civitella Alfedena and Pescasseroli.

The name "delle Ninfe" comes from the nymphs of classical myth, spirits of springs and flowing water. The waterfall is one of several on the Scerto stream in the Camosciara integral reserve, alongside the Cascata delle Tre Cannelle, and both lie between Civitella Alfedena and Pescasseroli.

The site is reached through a marked trail starting from the main parking area on road SS83 west of Villetta Barrea. Hiking through this area requires proper footwear because of wet, slippery rock formations and uneven terrain.

The Scerto stream feeds several waterfalls in the Camosciara integral nature reserve, and the Cascata delle Ninfe is one of them, alongside the Cascata delle Tre Cannelle. The stream's slightly acidic water runs over a bed of dolomite rock, cutting the falls deep between the rocks. The reserve lies between the municipalities of Civitella Alfedena and Pescasseroli, in the province of L'Aquila.
