Torsa between River Course and Festivities

The Torsa River as a Landscape Reference Point

The Torsa River originates at the confluence of several springs near the hamlet of Torsa, which bears the same name, north of the main town in the municipality of Pocenia. After approximately 6 km, the river flows into the Stella River near Pocenia. The source is located near the hamlet of Torsa north of the main town; the mouth is near Pocenia, where the Torsa flows into the Stella. For viewing the landscape in Torsa, this means that a spring area near the hamlet and another section of the river near Pocenia belong together.

The Sentiero degli Alpini is a recreational trail along the Torsa River. The trail follows the Torsa as a recreational route and supplements the geographical information with a specific course along the waterway. Those exploring Torsa with a view of the river and its banks will find a direct connection between the trail and the landscape here.
