Cascades du Polischellu



<o:p> </o:p>

EN: It is probably the most beautiful and most adventurous tourist trail on the island. We must constantly navigate the crystal water and sparkling  lakes, climb over beautiful cascades and waterfalls and deep ravines bypass. The children should not go beyond the third respectively fifth  cascade since it is followed by several places that need higher climbing skill.

 

  • How to arrive: Solenzara, a small spa on the east coast, Zonza, 778 m alt., climbing center in the massif of Bavella.
  • Starting point: the bridge across the creek Polischellu, 480 m alt., the road between the seats Bavella (9.5 km) and Bocca di Laron (3.5 km).
  • Parking: near a road number or the oak that grows between two blocks of rock (100m north).
  • Difference in altitude: about 200 meters.
  • Difficulty: rather difficult. One is virtually swimming ture, diversify in tackling parts of climbing waterfalls. Path mostly well-marked stone marking should however be carefully monitored. Rations and valuables must nest in waterproof containers. Equipment consists only of swimsuits and bathing shoes (barefoot decides to stay out). Warning: may be completed only in safe dry weather. The creek during a storm can change in a sharp white water - in case of emergency then be reimbursed for the higher situated pathways of stream!
  • Timing:

Bridge Polischellu - 1 cascade 10min.,

1 to 5 cascade 3 / 4 hour

5-17.cascade 1 1/2hod.

descent 2 hours.

a total of 4 1 / 2 hours

  • Possibility of catering and accommodation: hostel in the saddle Col de Bavella, restaurant and ZONZA SOLENZARA, hotels and campsites.

 

 


CZ:  Je to asi nejkrasnejsi a nejdobrozruznejsi turisticka trasa na celem ostrove.  Neustale musime proplouvat kristalove se trpytici vodou jezirek, prelezat nadherne kaskady a vodopady a obchazet hluboke rokle. S detmi byste nemeli chodit dale nez ke treti respektive pate kaskade, protoze dale nasleduje nekolik mist narocnych na jistotu chuze a odolnost vuci zavratim.

 

  • Prijezdova mista: Solenzara, male lazne na vychodnim pobrezi, Zonza, 778m, horolezecke stredisko v masivu Bavella
  • Vychozi bod: most pres potok Polischellu, 480m, na silnici mezi sedly Bavella (9,5km) a Bocca di Larone (3,5km).
  • Moznosti parkovani: u silnice, popr. u dubu, ktery vyrusta mezi dvema skalnimi bloky (100m severne).
  • Vyskovy rozdil: asi 200m.
  • Narocnost: pomerne namahave. Jedna se prakticky o plaveckou turu, zpestrenou pri zdolavani vodopadu lezeckymi partiemi. Cesta prevazne dobre znacena kamennymi muziky- presto je nutne znaceni pozorne sledovat. Proviant a cenne veci je nutno nest v nepromokavych obalech. Vybaveni se sklada pouze z plavek a koupacich bot (rozhodne nechodte na boso). Pozor: lze absolvovat jen pri bezpecnem suchem pocasi. Za bourky se potok muze zmenit v prudkou divokou vodu - v pripade nouze se pak nutno vratit se po vyse polozenych cestach nad potokem!
  • Casovy rozvrh:

most Polischellu - 1. kaskada 10min.

1.-5. kaskada 3/4 hod.

5.-17.kaskada 1 1/2hod.

sestup 2hod.

celkem 4 1/2 hod.
