Cascata Delle Marmore
April 7, 2024 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Visited the highest man-made waterfall in the world today. Created in Roman times by diverting a river over a cliff. Used to provide power but now a tourist attraction. The stream is diverted twice a day at 11 and 3 for 2 hours at a time so prior to diversion there is just a trickle but after it is very impressive. Various viewpoints with 600 steps to the top, made harder by most of Italy and their dogs and children being here.Read more

TravelerWe were about an hour or so north of Rome in Umbria. In some ways the scenery is even more impressive than Tuscany.
