A beautiful museum about the life of a miller. The cantine isn't always open, but there is a water feature. The waterfall is ideal for swimming in the summer. The place is very popular and worth seeing.

The "Al Maglio" waterfall is located on bike trail no. 355, right next to the old "Maglio del Malcantone" (Hammersmith Museum). Both are well worth seeing.

Old hammer forge from 1860, now a museum, next to it a snack kiosk, and next to it again the Jersey waterfall. Worthwhile place, free entry (donation box).

It can be reached by taking the mule track that connects the hamlet of Loggio to Puria. Starting from the Church of San Bartolomeo di Loggio continue going up the old one until you cross a stone bridge that overlooks the Solda stream. Leave the mule track to go up the right side of the stream until you reach the waterfall in a few minutes.
