Nice and pleasant trail with great views and stunning rock formations typical of Corsican geology. The path winds through beautiful landscape with the 120m elevation providing varied perspectives of the surrounding wilderness. However, the end of the path is unfortunately closed for safety reasons, so you can only see the waterfall from a distance rather than getting close to Cascade de Piscia di Ghjaddu. Still enjoyable for the hiking experience and scenery, though somewhat disappointing not to reach the falls directly.

Nice waterfall, around 1 hour to go one way from the street through scenic Corsican terrain. The 120m elevation gain provides a moderate workout while offering increasingly beautiful views as you ascend. The cascade itself is truly spectacular and definitely worth the effort. Plan for at least 2-3 hours total for the round trip, and bring water and snacks. The natural beauty of Piscia di Ghjaddu makes this a memorable hiking experience in Corse-du-Sud.

Nice location and view, the trail to get there is pleasant and easy but quite long! The route takes about an hour each way through beautiful Corsican landscape. However, there's a significant lack of signs to point out the official parking lot, which can be frustrating. If you miss the parking area, don't expect any clear signage on other trails that would confirm you're going the right way. Better navigation markers would greatly improve the hiking experience to this beautiful cascade.

Magic! This stunning waterfall is absolutely worth the trek through Corsican wilderness. The trail offers beautiful views, but the last climb down to the Cascade is quite tricky and requires careful navigation over rocky terrain. Make sure to have suitable garment including proper hiking boots and potentially waterproof clothing, as the path can be slippery near the water. The 120m elevation change adds to the challenge but rewards you with spectacular scenery.
