From waterfall to waterfall

Circular route along the old Roman road to Croina, among natural and historical wonders.
The rushing waters of the Massangla stream, the old Bugatini mill, the Gorg d’Abiss waterfall, the little church of San Giorgio with its onion shaped bell tower, the Roman bridge of Croina and the woods above Tiarno di Sotto. As the road and bridge of Croina testify, the ancient Romans were well settled in Valle di Ledro, geographic link between Lake Garda and the Giudicarie.
Author’s recommendation
Gorg d’Abiss, vortex of the abyss, this poetic name belongs to a magnificent waterfall which provides cool even in the hottest Summer days.
Thanks to its location on top of a hill overlooking the village of Tiarno di Sotto, the little church of San Giorgio is a beautiful viewpoint.

Safety Tips
- Choose itineraries that suit your physical and technical abilities. Collect information about the area you are visiting and the trail’s conditions and get a detailed trekking map.
- Wear clothes and take equipment that suit the difficulty and length of your tour. Keep emergency gear in your rucksack, including first aid supplies.
- Do not go walking alone in the mountains. In any case, tell someone where you are going and report back on returning.
- Look at the weather forecast before setting off and always keep an eye on the weather.
- In case of doubt, go back. It is better to give up than risk bad weather or face difficulties beyond your strength, ability and equipment.
- Do not leave marked paths and do not take shortcuts.
- All described walks are in a natural environment and therefore their use is at your own risk.

Equipment
You need to wear the right clothing and take the proper gear when you go hiking in the mountains. Even on relatively short easy outings make sure to take all you need so you don't run into trouble if things take an unexpected turn, for example a storm blows up or you have a sudden drop in energy levels.
What should you take when you go on a hike?
Your rucksack (for a day trip a 25/30L capacity should do) should contain:
- water canteen (1L)
- snacks (e.g. mixed dried fruit or chocolate)
- First aid kit
- windproof jacket
- fleece
- change of t-shirt and socks (in a plastic bag)
- make sure to wear or at least bring a pair of long trousers
- hat
- sun screen
- sunglasses
- gloves
- whistle to attract attention in an emergency
Make sure you're wearing the right footwear for the trail and season. The going can get rough and rocky underfoot and a pair of hiking boots will protect you from sprains. When wet, a grassy slope, rocky slab or steep trail can be dangerous unless you are wearing the proper footwear.
And finally... don't forget to bring your camera! You'll need it to capture the stunning views you come across all over Garda Trentino. And if you like, you can share your memories with us at #GardaTrentino.
