A very beautiful walk. Good shoes are necessary. The waterfall is very beautiful. A cool spot during a hot day. Beware of slippery stones and the descent. Beautiful views.

Be careful when descending/ascenting the path, the support balustrade is quite improvised. You need good shoes and good balance.

For the waterfalls there is an alternative and safer/practicable path (if you arrive from the Seneghe mountain, and therefore from the mountain community road) located about 100 meters below the clearing in front of the highlight.

Path only partially cyclable, at least downhill (which still requires a certain amount of portage, as the fairly soft and steep path makes cycling uphill impossible) that leads more safely to the Predas Rujas/Bia Iosso waterfall. To reach the waterfall: leave the bike on the marked path (which starts at the red arrow) and climb over a few rocks, an activity that is not very demanding, before reaching the base of the waterfalls and its pool.

The water of the Salighes river gives life to the waterfall which falls directly into the sea, with a 40 meter drop from a basaltic rock amphitheater which frames the landscape. The waterfall has an abundant flow of water only following heavy rains, but it is still beautiful to take a walk along the cliff overlooking the sea.
