Cascata di Pioraco
Marche
Unusually for a natural waterfall, this cascade drops within the built-up center of Pioraco on the Potenza river, which once powered a string of paper mills that made the town locally famous for centuries. A short walk from the town center leads past old mill buildings, some still partially intact, to viewing points over the falls. It's an easy, low-effort stop that pairs nature with a slice of regional industrial history.
