Orrido della Val Taleggio

Lombardy

The road into the Val Taleggio squeezes through a spectacular narrows where the Enna has sawn a slot hundreds of metres deep. Old galleried roadway, a footbridge and marked viewpoints let you look into the chasm and its waterfalls; the modern road bypasses it in a tunnel, leaving the gorge to walkers.
