This is a strange gorge near Bagni di Lucca in Tuscany in the Garfagnana.
The walk involves mostly wading up a mountain stream until the first part of the gorge. Then as it had rained the night before, the walk then involved wading almost up to my waist through the first narrow stretch. which is just four metres wide.

Then onto the Prigioni which are the second narrows which are wider, so one gets less wet.

Then it is quite easy to arrive at the Salto di Becchi.

The the going gets interesting where one must cling onto a rope to edge along the rocks each side of the stream.

Thank goodness I took my monopod which doubled up as a walking stick on the sometimes slippery rocks and made taking photographs (even the 17-55 2.8 needed high ISO hand held) possible in the gloom of the gorge.
