Carpinone. The waterfalls. Spring 2024

In the heart of a very small village in Molise, immersed in an enchanted forest and floral nature, stands the Carpinone waterfall, one of the most fascinating natural spectacles of the place. The rush of foaming water, which rushes downwards, pervades you as soon as you take the path and when you finally reach it you have a fantastic visual effect of light and roar. The Carpinone waterfall is becoming one of the major natural attractions of Molise, thanks also to a group of volunteers who, for some years, have been taking care of its appearance to make it accessible to everyone and not just to the few enthusiasts or those who despise the danger... She's too beautiful to leave there alone! It was born as a gift from nature and can be reached by following various paths, all immersed in the bright greenery of Molise and all marked with hand-made wooden signs, so as not to affect the suggestive panorama. As you walk, you feel a very pleasant emotion thanks to the direct contact with nature, the breathing of healthy, clean air and the sight of wonderful floral species that make everything fairytale-like.
