Cascate del Dardagna
The Dardagna waterfalls are probably one of the best-known naturalistic points of interest in the Corno alle Scale area. It is possible to reach them on foot thanks to a forest road and then a path (number 331 of the CAI) starting from the sanctuary of Madonna dell'Acero, a splendid example of religious architecture immersed in the greenery.

A shallow sea with a tropical climate, composed of large bays where rivers flowing down from the mountain ranges flowed into the sea (where the Po Valley is now).
