Orrido di Ponte Alto, Canyon with waterfalls in Trento, Italy.
The Fersina River has carved deep ravines into red rocks, creating two waterfalls that drop more than 40 meters through the narrow gorge.
Engineers constructed advanced hydraulic systems in the 16th century to control flooding, making it one of the earliest examples of water management infrastructure in Europe.
The site represents an early milestone in renewable energy development as one of the first locations worldwide to generate hydroelectric power.
Visitors must join 45-minute guided tours that include walking along designated paths, with advance reservations required for groups larger than 15 people.
The canyon features a concealed observation platform positioned behind the waterfall, allowing visitors to experience the water's power from within.
