Umbrian Marble Treasure
The most beautiful waterfall in the province of Umbria, Cascata delle Marmore, is the creation of human hands. It originated on the Velino River thanks to the engineering knowledge and achievements of the ancient Romans. The marble waterfall is the highest artificial waterfall on the planet. It consists of three cascades, and the total height from which its jets fall is 165 meters.
Most of the time, the water in the canal at the top of the falls is diverted to the side and used for the local power plant. A natural miracle is usually "included" from 12.00 to 12.00 and from 16.00 to 17.00. There are hiking trails along the waterfall, and in the lower reaches of the river you can take part in rafting.
The natural landmark is located 7 km east of the town of Terni in the heart of Italy. The road SP209 leads here from Terni.
The exact timetable for the "switching" of the waterfall is available on the website www.marmorefalls.it.
