Cascate del Serio, Waterfall in Valbondione, Lombardy, Italy
Description
The Cascate del Serio is a waterfall system in a mountain valley of Lombardy that drops in three distinct sections. Each section has its own character and together they form a dramatic natural landscape.
History
A dam built in the 1930s altered how water flowed over the falls. Later, planned water releases began, restoring the place as a destination to visit.
Culture
The name carries a local legend about love and loss that locals still mention when describing the falls. This story shapes how people experience and remember the place today.
Practical
Water flows over the falls only on specific dates each year, so checking the release schedule ahead of time is essential. Getting there requires a mountain hike that takes several hours and sturdy footwear.
Did you know?
During scheduled water releases, visitors watch a massive volume of water suddenly flow all at once from the dam above. This rare event is controlled entirely by people, not by natural weather or seasons.
