Bucamante Waterfall, Natural waterfall system in Serramazzoni, Italy.
Bucamante Waterfall is a system of five cascades flowing through dense woodland in the hills of Modena province. The mountain stream drops through these distinct stages, creating a natural pathway within the forest.
The site took its name from a medieval tale of two lovers who jumped into the waters to escape their families' opposition. This story from earlier centuries shaped how people have understood the place ever since.
The twin hiking paths are named Odina and Titiro, reflecting how the local community has woven a medieval love story into their connection with this place. The names remain part of how people talk about and navigate the site today.
The falls are reached through a marked trail of about 2 kilometers starting from Granarolo parking area. You can choose between a lower river path and an upper route with different viewing points along the way.
Dark green volcanic rocks near the falls came from ancient seabeds and offer a glimpse into the geological past. These stones tell the story of how the land once lay beneath a prehistoric ocean.
