The Cascata del Gorg d’Abiss and the Massangla
A walking trail to the Cascata del Gorg d’Abiss begins in Tiarno di Sotto and follows the Massangla stream to the waterfall. The path from San Giorgio to the Cascata del Gorg d’Abiss in Tiarno di Sotto was restored to improve its accessibility.
At the Cascata del Gorg d’Abiss, the Massangla has carved a natural cavity into the rock over the course of centuries. The water emerges between stone walls, plunges into a small mountain lake and then continues flowing as a small stream.
The Mulino dei Bugatini is the only one of the many watermills once found along the Massangla that has survived to this day. Alongside the natural experience by the water, this also highlights a preserved reminder of the river’s former use.
