Among the many natural beauties of Cilento, the Venus' Hair Falls in Casaletto Spartano are one of the area's major attractions, visited by many from all over Italy. These waterfalls are formed by the Bussento river's tributary, the Bussentino, which enriches the waters of the Bussento river near Morigerati, reaching a temperature of between 6 and 8 degrees.
The name given to the waterfalls comes from an elegant fern with an ethereal appearance and a characteristic deep green colour: the Maidenhair fern. They are located within the Capello Area Oasis, rich in nature trails for trekking lovers, bridges and structures. Among the latter there is an old watermill restored to its former glory that can be visited. There are also wooden bridges in the oasis, these built to reach the waterfall. In addition to the wooden ones, there is also a Norman stone bridge over the waterfall.
The 37 km long Bussento river springs from the Varco La Peta spring on Mount Cervati at 900 metres above sea level in the municipality of Sanza. During its course, the river feeds the artificial dam of Lake Sabetta and disappears underground at Caselle in Pittari. The Bussento river, before flowing out near Policastro Bussentino, re-emerges to the surface at Morigerati, where it gave birth to the Bussento Caves, now a WWF oasis.
