terrain that is mostly uneven. The itinerary starts from the square in front of the Ferdinandea estate in the municipality of Stilo (RC) reachable through the former SS 110. We are located on the Ionian side of Calabria and the Serre Calabre in an area that has always been rich in minerals and with morphological and water conditions that favored the birth and progress of the first industrialization of southern Italy. The starting point of our itinerary originates from here, from this enchanting place surrounded by greenery, a former Bourbon steelworks.<br>Leaving the car in the square, in front of the residence, take the small road, briefly paved, that descends bypassing the ruins of the complex. At the first fork take a right. Proceed moving away from the Ferdinandea villa that we will leave behind us. Keeping to the left at the first two crossroads and then turn right, a short sandy stretch surrounded by tall gorse will begin. We descend along the winding path that skirts a former penstock, crossing it. The path becomes a mule track that regains the ridgeline and takes us to a splendid viewpoint over the falls. The mule track continues to descend and after a series of narrow switchbacks we reach the valley floor. Having crossed the stream we have to climb its course for a short distance passing by a huge erratic granite boulder finally reaching the base of the falls. The entire route is affected by the presence of CAI signs that will guide us along the trail.           <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43dfcbc e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"43dfcbc\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-00289a9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"00289a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"812\" src=\"https:\/\/parcodelleserre.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Schermata-2022-08-29-alle-17.22.52.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2214\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/parcodelleserre.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Schermata-2022-08-29-alle-17.22.52.png 640w, https:\/\/parcodelleserre.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Schermata-2022-08-29-alle-17.22.52-236x300.png 236w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46f9c6f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"46f9c6f\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-785a41b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"785a41b\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e6597d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3e6597d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"711\" src=\"https:\/\/parcodelleserre.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Schermata-2022-08-29-alle-17.27.11-1024x910.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2215\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/parcodelleserre.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Schermata-2022-08-29-alle-17.27.11-1024x910.png 1024w, https:\/\/parcodelleserre.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Schermata-2022-08-29-alle-17.27.11-300x266.png 300w, https:\/\/parcodelleserre.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Schermata-2022-08-29-alle-17.27.11-768x682.png 768w, https:\/\/parcodelleserre.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Schermata-2022-08-29-alle-17.27.11.png 1146w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-314c032 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"314c032\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37c6e07 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"37c6e07\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">CALCAREOUS SOIL WITH THE PRESENCE OF SILICATES<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1467cc2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1467cc2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As we leave the forests behind us, the road will begin to change, becoming sandy, shiny in places.

The fruits ripen in the year following the flowering that gives rise to them, in autumn. The plant is thus found to host both flowers and ripe fruits at the same time, which makes it particularly ornamental because of the presence on the tree of three vibrant colors: the red of the fruits, the white of the flowers and the green of the leaves.
