Cascata della Marmore

The Cascata delle Marmore, also known as the Marmore Falls, is a man-made waterfall created by the ancient Romans in Umbria, Italy. The waterfall is located about 8 km from Terni and is fed by Lake Piediluco, which is in turn fed by the Velino river. The falls descend into the Nera river in the valley below. Visitors can hike up to the top of the falls via a path that allows them to get close to the water and enjoy the surrounding lush vegetation and natural caves. There are several trails to choose from, including the 'Ancient Passage' trail, which takes you to the highest point of the waterfall, and the 'Ring of the Nymph' trail, which is the closest to the waterfall. The falls are turned on and off according to a fixed schedule, creating a spectacular effect at full flow. An alarm sounds before the gates are opened, and in a few minutes, the small stream is transformed into a full-sized river rushing into the void below
