The Gumpen in Corsica are very well known. But these are beautiful with the waterfalls and the "swimming pool".

May 10, 2025,Purcaraccia Wasserfall von Bavella - Korsika

A beautiful hike of moderate difficulty, the final section is challenging. The parking lot at Bocca di Larone is also suitable for campers. The trail was easy to complete and was open without any obstacles. We were there in mid-May. It's most likely closed during peak season. Approach shoes or sturdy, stiffer sneakers, surefootedness, and a head for heights are …

It was very difficult to find the way and we often had to climb but the reward at the end was a nice swim. Absolutely beautiful scenery 👍

October 16, 2021,Cascades de Purcaraccia – Ruisseau de Purcaraccia Runde von D 268

The tour is quite short. But fantastically beautiful. We were there in the middle of October. At this time it is very quiet and you hardly meet anyone. The ways are good to go. Not suitable for children under 10 years of age, however, in my opinion, as it can be a bit slippery at times and it goes steeply …

June 30, 2022,🇫🇷 Korsika_Cascades de Purcaraccia ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After the hard tour yesterday, a bit of running out today and swimming in some ingenious bathing pools with a waterfall. The way there is beautiful, but nothing for flip flops or slippers. The minimum here are sneakers with a decent profile, because it's quite a walk over scree and some climbing passages. Since not everyone prepares accordingly, there are …

On the first day on Korskia, we only did a short hike, but it was quite challenging: after a few hundred meters, we went over "hill and dale" ... at some point the path simply stopped because of a landslide on the slope. Oh well, it's vacation after all 😜 So we're going back and to the sea this evening.

Nice hike but far from being family friendly. Several slippery passages, climbing. Provide real hiking shoes.
