Cascate del Maesano, Aspromonte

The Ferraina stream falls in three linked leaps totalling around 80 m over granite steps deep in the Aspromonte National Park. A signed forest path from the Materazzelli area on the Gambarie–Zervò road reaches viewpoints at the middle and foot of the falls, in cool shade under fir and beech even in high summer.
