Easy route leading to the fascinating Kot Falls
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.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
No special precautions, but slippery in rain.
Extending the tour by 2 km (one outward and one return), it is possible to reach the start by public transport, taking advantage of TPL line 314 from Cividale del Friuli, stop "SAN LEONARDO SP 47 Civic 85 (junction, direction Scrutto)"
From Cividale go up the SS54 in the direction of SLOVENIA, at Località Ponte San Quirino follow the sign SAN LEONARDO. Once in the village, turn right over a bridge at the sign ALTANA. After about 1 km, at the first hairpin bend we find parking with signs dedicated to the waterfalls.
