What to see near Agriturismo La Valle dell'Orso in Acquasanta Terme
The route to the Prata and Volpara waterfalls starts from Umito: a dirt road crosses chestnut groves and runs past streams and springs, then becomes a trail through dense beech woods. A detour of about an hour round trip leads to the foot of the Cascata della Prata, on the Rio Prata, about 50 meters high; continuing on, you pass an old mountain oven, restored in 2020 by the Comunanze Agrarie (local commons associations), up to the cascades of the Volpara, with the most water between late spring and early summer. These woods were also the workplace of shepherds and charcoal burners, and during the war Umito and Pozza suffered roundups that cost the lives of dozens of residents and partisans.
