The famous "Cascata dell’Abbraccio" (Embrace Waterfall) is located in the municipality of Palazzuolo sul Senio, and is formed by a side branch of the Rovigo stream. This spectacular water plunge, diving forcefully from the surrounding rocks, creates a suggestive and fascinating scenario. The particular geological conformation of the area has given rise to a unique natural phenomenon: the erosion of softer rock layers has formed a large cave that extends behind the waterfall, almost "embracing" it, hence the name of the place. This feature offers visitors a rare and extraordinary experience: the opportunity to observe the waterfall not only from its front, but also from the inside, passing behind the rushing water. The effect is even more evocative during winter, when the water freezes and gives rise to spectacular ice stalactite formations, creating an even more fascinating and mysterious landscape. The "Cascata dell’Abbraccio" is a corner of nature that captivates anyone who visits it, offering a close encounter with the force of nature and its extraordinary beauty.
