Breathtaking place middle of the nature, worth to visit, better to wear warmer clothes and comfortable shoes.
It was very interesting to walk in the canyon which is located in the city itself. Beautiful views. The only downside was that our guide was trying to break the world record of fastest tour ever, so he was just running and not actually stopping to look at anything. Other groups were more lucky I think.
It's wonderful place. There's a free path from the lake. I recommend to visit that first as it gives an impression of what you can see if you pay for the guide. If you like it, I recommend to get the guide.
Not recommended for people who suffer from claustrophobia or fear of heights. For anybody else, definitely recommended. It's an easy guided tour of around 2 hours, always walking on a safe, stable path made of metallic grates. The water powerfully flows beneath you, as you walk on the suspended path in the cool, wet canyon. Reservation is mandatory, parking it's not easy and the road is not fast. Plan enough time for travelling here.
Beautiful place! Easy walking trail
The whole experience is thrilling, platform grills are uneven in places, especially where it's dark, so you need to be careful.
Simply fantastic, for nature lovers and to feel in another world. Outstanding!
Beutiful, english guided tour is not so detailed like italian one.

Nice watch operating by water power at fondo village
Loved this piece of art, I'm curious if the pieces on the sides move I imagine the pieces that track slower things like zodiac sign must move much slower
Faszinating … powered by water!
(Translated by Google) Gorgeous water clock! Truly unique located in the center of the square. It is possible to park behind in a small street there is a mini parking for cars and also for motorbikes. It should be advertised more, both for the particularity that it runs on water but also because it not only measures the hours but also the moon phases etc. Worth visiting (Original) Splendido orologio ad acqua! Davvero unico situato al centro della piazza. È possibile parcheggiare dietro in una vietta c'è un mini parcheggio per auto e anche per moto. Andrebbe più pubblicizzato, sia per la particolarità che va ad acqua ma anche perché non misura solo le ore ma anche le fasi lunari ecc. Da visitare
(Translated by Google) It was a curious discovery, a two-meter-tall water-powered clock with all its mechanisms exposed. It chimes every quarter hour with a carillon and every hour with a bell. It's located in the town square and is free to visit. The story of its design is also very interesting. A must-see in Val di Non. (Original) È stata una curiosa scoperta, un orologio alto un paio di metri funzionante ad acqua con tutti i meccanismi a vista. I rintocchi ai quarti d'ora sono con un suono carillon e alle ore con la campana. Si trova sulla piazza del paese e si visita liberamente. Molto interessante anche la sua storia di come è stato concepito. Una curiosità da vedere in Val di Non
(Translated by Google) It's unique, it has a whole series of mechanisms that work with water, truly beautiful. If you happen to be there after walking along the path that starts from the lake and leads into town, go and see the clock. (Original) Particolare ,ha tutto una serie di meccanismi che funzionano con l'acqua,davvero bello. Se vi capita dopo la camminata nel sentiero che parte dal lago e vi porta in paese andate a vedere l'orologio.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful clock, powered by gravity water. I'd never seen one before! In the main square of the village, a nice curiosity to see. (Original) Bell orologio, funzionante ad acqua per caduta. Non ne avevo mai visti! Sulla piazza principale del paese, una bella curiosità da vedere.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful water clock in perfect working order, what a sight. (Original) Bellissimo orologio ad acqua perfettamente funzionante che spettacolo.

Worth your time. Great view and atmosphere
It was incredible to visit! Recommend going to the top of the falls first and then going for the big wow moment at the bottom of the falls. There weren't many other people there, it was like we had the place to ourselves.
Spectacular waterfall and well worth the 2 1/2 mile walk there and back. There is parking in Tret (a car park about 50 m from the start of the walk and a further three places on the roadside where the walk starts). It’s pretty steep going down to the base of the waterfall with the implication that is even steeper coming back up but it’s very worthwhile.
Beautiful waterfall in a narrow gorge. Someone mentions an easy walk, but that's only when you visit the top of the falls, which is nice, but not very impressive. At the parking area, take the path on the left (past a vegetable garden, sign says 'cascate base') to reach the bottom of the waterfall. No easy walk here though, it's a steep descent ending in a (as they claim) 151 step (30cm steps) staircase down to the bottom. Still, well worth it.
Fantastic mountain lake...great for a cold swim too!
Thought a review in English would be helpful. The Tret Waterfall is just a ten minute walk from the parking area near the Aurora Hotel (please don't use their lot). There are two trails: One goes to the top of the falls and the other goes to the bottom and the Novella stream. Both are easily accessible. Enjoy but be careful.
I didn't expect such an impressive waterfall. If you are in a rush I would advise only taking the path down. Seeing the waterfall from above is not as impressive.

Very well done, small museum. Great for children even from a small age.
(Translated by Google) Very nice museum…..you can breathe the history, history experienced through the mill which is still working and all the original and worn equipment. Plus the story told of Nonna Pia who saw two wars...flour and all its rituals (Original) Museo molto carino…..si respira la storia, storia vissuta tramite il mulino che ancora funzionante e tutte le attrezzature originali e consumate. In più la storia raccontata di Nonna Pia che ha visto due guerre…..la farina e tutti i suoi rituali
(Translated by Google) Beautiful experience. We visited the entire museum with great attention. Definitely worth a visit. The girl at the reception was very kind and knowledgeable. Suitable for all ages. Compliments! (Original) Bellissima esperienza. Abbiamo visitato tutto il museo con grande attenzione. Merita sicuramente una visita. Gentilissima e preparata la ragazza della reception. Adatto ad ogni età. Complimenti!
(Translated by Google) We visited this small museum during a trip to Fondo, the girl who explained the history and evolution of Fondo to us was very nice and prepared even when there was a sudden blackout... With the Trentino card we entered for free .. which never hurts. Recommend a visit if you are in the area (Original) Abbiamo visitato questo piccolo museo in occasione di una gita a Fondo, la ragazza che ci ha spiegato la storia e l'evoluzione di Fondo era molto simpatica e preparata anche quando c'è stato un improvviso blackout... Con trentino card siamo entrati gratuitamente.. il che non guasta mai. Consiglia una visita se si è in zona
(Translated by Google) 🏞 During a day spent in Fondo, I decided to visit the La Casa dell'Acqua Museum, a small interactive museum that explores the theme of water in the Val di Non. Located in the historic center, the museum presents itself as a welcoming and full of information.🌊 Upon entering, I was immediately struck by the structure of the museum, divided into six thematic environments. Each room offers a different experience, from the geological story of the formation of the local canyons, to the interviews with the custodians of the historical memory linked to water. The variety of topics covered makes the visit stimulating and educational.👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 One of the features that I appreciated most was the attention towards families and children. With interactive devices such as a model showing the path of the water in the valley and a 4K film on the waterways, the museum manages to involve visitors of all ages in active and fun learning.🎥 Among the most interesting, I found the interactive panel on the hydroelectric power plant and the stop motion animations illustrating the water cycle fascinating. These technological tools enrich the experience, making otherwise complex concepts understandable.🌿 After exploring the interior of the museum, I took the opportunity to take a walk in the historic center of Fondo. The visit to the La Casa dell'Acqua Museum added significant value to my day, offering me new perspectives on the importance of water in the local culture and environment.🤔 Reflecting on my visit, I can say that the La Casa dell'Acqua Museum Acqua is a place that deserves to be explored, not only for its ability to educate, but also for the way in which it manages to connect the visitor with the natural and cultural history of the Val di Non. (Original) 🏞 Durante una giornata trascorsa a Fondo, ho deciso di visitare il Museo La Casa dell'Acqua, un piccolo museo interattivo che esplora il tema dell'acqua nella Val di Non. Situato nel centro storico, il museo si presenta come un luogo accogliente e ricco di informazioni.🌊 All'ingresso, sono stato subito colpito dalla struttura del museo, divisa in sei ambienti tematici. Ogni stanza offre un'esperienza diversa, dal racconto geologico della formazione dei canyon locali, fino alle interviste con i depositari della memoria storica legata all'acqua. La varietà degli argomenti trattati rende la visita stimolante e educativa.👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Una delle caratteristiche che ho apprezzato di più è stata l'attenzione verso le famiglie e i bambini. Con dispositivi interattivi come un plastico che mostra il percorso dell'acqua nella valle e un filmato in 4K sulle vie d'acqua, il museo riesce a coinvolgere i visitatori di tutte le età in un'apprendimento attivo e divertente.🎥 Tra le installazioni più interessanti, ho trovato affascinante il pannello interattivo sulla centrale idroelettrica e le animazioni in stop motion che illustrano il ciclo dell'acqua. Questi strumenti tecnologici arricchiscono l'esperienza, rendendo comprensibili concetti altrimenti complessi.🌿 Dopo aver esplorato l'interno del museo, ho approfittato per fare una passeggiata nel centro storico di Fondo. La visita al Museo La Casa dell'Acqua ha aggiunto un valore significativo alla mia giornata, offrendomi nuove prospettive sull'importanza dell'acqua nella cultura e nell'ambiente locale.🤔 Riflettendo sulla mia visita, posso dire che il Museo La Casa dell'Acqua è un luogo che merita di essere esplorato, non solo per la sua capacità di educare, ma anche per il modo in cui riesce a connettere il visitatore con la storia naturale e culturale della Val di Non.
(Translated by Google) Nice interactive experience that I recommend for children and teenagers. Greenpass requested, the girl who welcomed me was courteous and professional (Original) Bella esperienza interattiva che consiglio per bambini e adolescenti. Richiesto greenpass, la ragazza che mi ha accolto è stata cortese e professionale
(Translated by Google) Very engaging museum; you are welcomed and accompanied through the rooms on an interesting, dynamic and very instructive journey, suitable for everyone. Don't miss it! It definitely deserves more visibility We discovered it through the Trentino guest card (Original) Museo molto coinvolgente; si viene accolti e accompagnati lungo le sale in un percorso interessante, dinamico e molto istruttivo, adatto a tutti. Da non perdere! Merita sicuramente più visibilità Noi lo abbiamo scoperto attraverso la Trentino guest card
(Translated by Google) It took me and my 10 and 12 year old girls an hour to visit it, accompanied by a very expert lady who was at the ticket office and gave us all her attention. We hadn't booked. All three of them liked the museum. To me because it reminded me of my grandmother's stories, of how people once lived in small towns. Furthermore, I understood the history and economic evolution of the Val di Non, which was unknown to me. I was expecting a scientific museum (properties of water, use...) but instead the approach is more "warm", more "human". I recommend it! Have you ever thought about the different noise water makes in a washing machine or in a toilet? :-) there are very fun games, sounds, models and videos. The visiting hour flew by. (Original) Io e le mie bimbe di 10 e 12 anni abbiamo impiegato un'ora per visitarlo, accompagnate da una signora molto esperta che era in biglietteria e ci ha dedicato tutta la sua attenzione. Non avevamo prenotato. Il museo è piaciuto a tutte e tre. A me perché mi ricordava le storie della mia nonna, di come si viveva una volta nei piccoli paesi. In più ho compreso la storia e l'evoluzione economica della val di Non, a me sconosciuta. Mi aspettavo un museo scientifico (proprietà dell'acqua, utilizzo ...) invece l'approccio è più "caloroso", più "umano". Lo consiglio! Avete mai pensato al differente rumore che fa l'acqua in una lavatrice o in un water? :-) ci sono giochi, suoni, plastici, video molto divertenti. L'ora di visita è volata.
