The stream divides the valley in two like a real canyon, creating a dense network of crevasses which over time have been connected by thick vegetation and, in the less accessible points, by man with wooden bridges.

From the source flows the Bova torrent which, descending along the valley of the same name, flows into the Piana di Erba to then bend southwards and finally flows, as an tributary, into the Lambro river.

Iron Staircase of Val Bova

Highlight • Structure

Staircase with two ramps built in iron. Once you have climbed and reached the top, following a path protected by a metal parapet, you arrive at the top of the Orrido di Caino.
Access from the bottom of the valley to the stairway is along a steep and slippery path. The ascent is facilitated by the presence of steel chains.
