How to Get There
Reaching the Tartare Waterfall is an adventure that begins in the Comunacque area. From here, take a dirt road that initially goes up and then reaches the river, skirting it. The springs are located on the opposite side of the river from the road, so there are two options for getting there.
The first option is to wade into the river, which is quite shallow at this point, with the water reaching just below your knees. This method is only recommended for those who are prepared and have the appropriate equipment to cross a watercourse.
The second option is to continue along the road to the Ponte delle Tavole. Once you cross the bridge, you go back to the other side of the river until you reach the springs.
A dive into history and nature
The Tartare Waterfall is not only a place of extraordinary natural beauty, but also a site rich in history and tradition. The name “Tartare” recalls ancient legends and stories that are lost in the mists of time and walking in these places means taking a dive into the past, imagining the ancient populations who lived in harmony with the surrounding nature.
The area around the waterfall is populated by a rich variety of flora and fauna: among the plant species, you can find ferns, mosses and aquatic plants which contribute to creating a fresh and humid environment, ideal for numerous animal species, and it is possible spot birds, amphibians and small mammals that live in this protected ecosystem.
