    Extremely simple route, but one that provides a fantastic break from the summer heat through an immersion in the woods of the Erbezzo valley. After parking the car at the first hairpin bend of the road to Altana, we go up a simple path along the Patok and Pod Tamoran streams. We also pass along the way the ruins of an old mill and finally reach the basin that is home to the waterfalls. The highest drop exceeds 10 meters in height, and the view is immediately struck by the large flow of sedimented material (travertine) below the waterfall. To the left, however, we glimpse a large moss-covered cavern, which can be reached if the water level is not too high. At the end of the cooling break, we return on the same route as on the way out.
