Cascata del Menotre & Altolina, Pale
Umbria
The Menotre drops through a series of green pools and cascades in the Parco dell'Altolina, once powering paper and grain mills; a shaded path with bridges follows it. Above, the tiny village of Pale sits under a rock wall pierced by the Abbadessa cave, and the hermitage of Santa Maria Giacobbe clings to a ledge.
