This waterfall originates from the turquoise waters of the Magnone Torrent that flows below the spectacular Lago di Tenno. The watercourse crashes down into a 98-metre gorge which was dug out over time by the tireless eroding power of water that has also formed two caves: a lower one and a higher one where you can see the waters flowing into the mountain itself.

To properly maintain and conserve this natural gem, entry tickets and visiting hours have been introduced. The entrance is located in the municipality of Tenno, just 3 kilometres from the northern shores of Lake Garda.
