Let’s start with the Begna waterfalls…

Once out of the campsite, turn left and proceed towards Porlezza. When you arrive at the first traffic light you meet, turn right and you have arrived in Begna. From the children’s playground follow Via Caduti in Guerra and soon after Via alla Piana. From here there is a flight of steps at the top of which you will find a sign for the path known as Ponte Strolech. After a pleasant walk between old rustic houses you arrive at a little chapel where there is a sign board saying “ponte romano – orrido” (roman bridge -gorge). This directs you along the path to the splendid waterfall with a natural pool below where you may refresh yourself in summer. To reach the falls it takes about 30 minutes on foot. Remember to bring your swimsuit so you can fully enjoy this excursion.

and continue with “Grotte di Rescia”.

Also this time you head towards Porlezza. At the traffic lights this time turn left and continue until you find the sign of the caves on your left. Park and go to the cashier (for prices and opening hours open the link below). Once inside, you will see in front of you a beautiful show consisting of seven caves. The route is about 500 meters long and takes about 30 minutes. This site has the particularity of combining caves with a beautiful gorge, the “gorge of Santa Giulia” with a waterfall of 70 meters.
