Monumento naturale delle Cascate dell'Acqua Fraggia
Monumento naturale delle Cascate dell'Acqua Fraggia, Natural monument in Piuro, Italy
The Acqua Fraggia waterfalls create a double cascade system that flows through the Alpine landscape of Lombardy's Valchiavenna region.
The natural monument received official protection status in 1984, marking a significant step in preserving the natural heritage of Sondrio province.
Leonardo da Vinci recorded these waterfalls in his Codex Atlanticus, noting their remarkable height and natural configuration in the Mera River valley.
The park features equipped walking paths with viewing platforms that allow visitors to observe the waterfalls from multiple vantage points.
The stream originates at Pizzo del Lago at 3050 meters, marking the watershed between the North Sea and Mediterranean drainage basins.
