Waterfall in the Gorges, Parc Naturel Régional de Corse

This waterfall cascades down the rock right next to the hiking trail.
The small resulting stream flows over the path and then pours further into the gorge.

Spelunca gorges

Highlight • Gorge

The gorges of Spelunca (Spilonca in Corsica) extend between the villages of Ota and Evisa. The path that runs along the impressive and deep canyon follows an old mule track. This place is very popular, therefore very busy, but its beauty totally justifies this craze.

They were working on the bridge along the way. If it is closed, you can still walk on the iron sides. Shelves look very bad.

On the way you come across reports that there was a landslide near Ota and the bridge has disappeared. Everything is fine, you have to decide for yourself whether you want to continue. If you are sure-footed and used to scree, you can continue the tour.
