Voile de la Mariée
Called A Piscia di a Sposa in Corsican, the Voile de la Mariée (Bridal Veil) waterfall owes its name to its long ribbon of white water that unfurls over 70 metres' height, recalling a bride's veil escaping from a pool suspended on the mountainside. Fed by the Trotto stream, a tributary of the Gravona, it is discovered at the end of a hike through the chestnut forest around the village of Bocognano, former stronghold of the Corsican bandit Bellacoscia. The fall's flow, particularly impressive in spring during the snowmelt of the nearby Monte d'Oro, reduces noticeably in high summer, which makes it a site to favour between April and June to admire its full power. This waterfall is among the highest and most photographed of the island, offering a striking contrast between the whiteness of the water and the dark green of the surrounding maquis.
