The Roccolo del Sauch, in the Cembra Valley, is an ancient system for capturing birds. It is a vegetal construction of beech and fir trees suitably intertwined and pruned, so as to create a practicable tunnel with a grassy clearing in the center. After a large number of birds had landed in the space at the center of the tunnel, the scarecrow was waved from the hut preceded by the birdcatcher's whistle. The horizontal escape took the birds straight towards an almost invisible net stretched between the arches of the tunnel.

Wild but at the same time not far from Cavalese and Castello di Fiemme, this waterfall anticipates by a few dozen meters the flow of the Val Moena stream into the Avisio. It has a great sound and visual impact, certainly one of the best waterfalls in the area.

The Cavalese waterfall is fed by the Rio Val Moena, which rises in the beautiful mountain valley of the same name. It is interesting to watch how its water falls over the edge of the rocks about 20m into the depths. It looks as if it is pointing an index finger towards the sky. If you watch it from the bridge, at the outlet, you are impressed by the unbridled power of nature and feel the fine spray on your face. Several short and longer (circular) paths lead around the waterfall.

From this panoramic point, not far from Piazzo, it is possible to observe the pyramids of Segonzano in all their grandeur. They are called òmeni in the local dialect due to their resemblance to human beings. They were formed about 50,000 years ago thanks to the erosive action of water on the ground.
