The three Rio di Riva waterfalls, accessible from the hamlet of Bad Winkel, showcase a stunning natural spectacle. Situated in the Vedrette di Ries-Aurina Nature Park, these waterfalls are particularly striking during the summer months. Fed by melting snow, the Rio di Riva cascades dramatically in three stages over the rocky cliffs, allowing visitors to fully experience the sheer power of the water through all their senses.
The St. Francis' Path, featuring ten meditative spots, accompanies the route to the waterfalls and leads up to the Franziskus and Klara Chapel.
