Families

At Monte Gelato, in the municipality of Mazzano Romano, the Treja drops in a series of broad falls beside the ruins of a mill. It is the start of the route to Calcata and a Sunday spot for Romans, with meadows for picnics. The park has two short paths, 001 and 002, along the ditches of the Mola. The floating walkway that used to be at the waterfalls has been removed.
