Trail 3, Marmore Falls

Highlight • Trail

A short but suggestive path that leads to the Nera river, where you can observe the point where the waters of the Velino and Nera rivers meet. The rapids and gorges created by water erosion make this path particularly fascinating. Its brevity and shape make it particularly suitable for families with children.

Lord Byron's Bench at Cascata delle Marmore

Highlight • Viewpoint

Among the many visitors to the Marmore Falls, the figure of Lord Byron is unforgettable, to whom the square in front of the last jump was also dedicated: here, in fact, the English poet was struck by this waterfall "incomparable cataract, horribly beautiful". The sculpture created for Byron by the artist Peppe Di Giuli consists of a steel ingot bench on which, as if it had been elegantly thrown by Byron, stands the gilded bronze cloak with the book next to it on which it is engraved in Italian and in English the text dedicated by the poet to the Marmore Falls.
“She advances
Like an eternity to swallow
Everything that comes across scares the eye
Blissful, incomparable cataract
Horribly beautiful.
Whence this noise? It's from Velino
Which falls plumb into the abyss
From the alpine edge of the mountain
Huge cataract and lightning
As fast as…
Foam in heaven
It rises and falls in perpetual rain
Inexhaustible cloud and sweet dew
Which germinates around an evergreen
May, a carpet of emeralds”.
Lord Byron – 1816 (the year he, aged 28, visited the Cascade)

Cascata delle Marmore Lower Viewpoint

Highlight • Waterfall

Entrance to the Marmore Falls from the lower Belvedere. For some years now, bicycles have been allowed to enter the lower part for free to bypass the nearby tunnel on the provincial road. To access, just contact the custodians directly near the entrance gate. You will be asked to carry the bicycle by hand, but it is a small price to pay to enjoy a unique landscape for free.
