SL5
Water, the source of life, attracts our attention, attracts us, and even more so when, due to the weather or the orography, it shows us all its strength and power and turns into beauty. This is what the waterfalls of Oneta show us, at least two of the three existing ones.
From the village of Oneta, and in a very short walk through meadows, we will reach the upper part of the first one, where the river has dug a channel in the rock into which it flows until it reaches the edge of the cliff, where it plunges down.
A short detour takes us to the tail, some twenty metres high, white, thundering, beautiful, in the middle of the forest. A little further down, an old mill. We continue walking and arrive at the second one, even more secluded if possible, a little more open, tucked in between more vegetation and equally beautiful. In between, a walk through the interior of the forest, where in spring the different daffodils that fill the walk with yellow stand out.
Oneta - Oneta Waterfalls 3
The route begins in the village of Oneta, specifically at its south-western end. It is a walk that takes us to the waterfalls of the same name, located 1,500 metres from the village.
After the first 700 metres, you will come to a fork, where you should take the path to the left. Then, about 200 metres further on, you will come to a mill.
After approximately 1.200 kilometres, turn off a few metres to the left of the path to see the first waterfall; then retrace your steps and continue along the route.
Some 300 metres further on, after a zigzagging path through the forest, we finally reach the last waterfall of Oneta, which brings our route to an end.
