It's the place with the largest concentration of waterfalls in all of Campania. Indeed, in all of Southern Italy. There are fourteen of the most well-known and popular ones, but those with deep knowledge of the area claim there are dozens more. And all of this is just a short distance from the centre of Calabritto, more precisely on the slopes of Mount Cervialto in the Monti Picentini Regional Park.

There, numerous streams continue to shape a landscape of rare beauty, where the harmony of a still wild nature imposes itself everywhere, characterized by an extraordinary variety of botanical species and populated by birds, amphibians and mammals typical of woodlands.

The Rio Zagarone dominates this enchanting landscape, one of the main tributaries of the Sele River in the upper reaches of the great river that originates nearby, in Caposele. Overcoming the frequent drops between hills and rocky outcrops, the stream creates spectacular, multi-level waterfalls, sometimes reaching remarkable heights, as much as tens of meters. Among the most spectacular are the Tuorno waterfall and the Bard'natore waterfall, among the highest in Campania, which, with its five waterfalls and a slide, reaches a height of seventy meters. It is surpassed by another giant: the Rivezzuolo waterfall, which has a total height of eighty meters.

Water and caves are the defining features of the area, which was once a refuge for bandits, who exploited the numerous karst caves in the most inaccessible and completely safe places. The most famous of Calabritto's caves, however, not far from the Bard'natore Waterfall, is a sacred site: since the 18th century, it has housed the Sanctuary of the Madonna del Fiume, protector of women in childbirth, whose cult is linked to several legends. Every Easter Monday, the church, adorned with magnificent stalactites, is a pilgrimage destination for the inhabitants of Calabritto, particularly women who come to ask the Virgin's protection for their children.
