Splashing around with a view

René Ruis

A vertical rock face towers over Biasca's train station. A waterfall cascades over it into the depths with two intersecting branches, bringing beauty to the railway area. The natural spectacle is called Cascata di Santa Petronilla in Italian; nearby stands the chapel dedicated to Saint Petronilla, the patron saint of an early Christian martyr.
