Easy route that allows you to reach the charming Kot Waterfalls
Extremely simple route that offers 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 follow a simple path along the Patok and Pod Tamoran streams. Along the way, we also pass the ruins of an ancient mill and finally reach the basin that hosts the waterfalls. The highest drop exceeds 10 meters in height and immediately catches the eye is the large flow of sedimented material (travertine) beneath the waterfall. On the left, there is a large moss-covered cave, accessible if the water level is not too high. At the end of the refreshing pause, the return follows the same route as the outward journey.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
No particular precautions, but slippery in case of rain.
By extending the route by 2 km (one on the way there and one on the way back) it is possible to reach the start using public transport, taking the TPL 314 line from Cividale del Friuli, stop "SAN LEONARDO SP 47 Civico 85 (junction, direction Scrutto)"
From Cividale, head up the SS54 towards SLOVENIA; in the locality of Ponte San Quirino, follow the sign for SAN LEONARDO. Once in the village, turn right on a bridge at the sign ALTANA. After about 1 km, at the first hairpin bend, there is parking with signage dedicated to the waterfalls.
