Its story

Ava Ore (Ore) Waterfall, included in the city route of the provincial directorate of culture, is in the mountainous terrain south of the center. The waterfall is reached by a drive of about 20 minutes followed by a walk of about half an hour. Popular in summer for cooling off thanks to its cold water and green surroundings, the waterfall takes on a completely different look with the icicles that form when the weather turns cold. On the way back, a half-day nature trip can be planned together with viewpoints overlooking the Zap Valley. The path can be slippery in places; wear suitable shoes.
