Lage

Location: Poggio Aquilone, Fosso Ospedaletto. Entrance setting: natural, rural, on a slope.

Route: on foot 800 m, 30 min. Once the built-up area of Opedaletto is reached, along the SS317 leading to Monte Peglia, take the SP109 for a Ripalvella and Collelungo, continue for about 1.3 km along the dirt road and park in the clearing on the right near a fenced hunting area. Continue on foot along the dirt road to the right, passing the gate; if this is closed, follow the fence on the right until you come to a gap. Follow the road inside the area heading SW, after about 500 m turn towards N, passing the wide gully and the gate on its right side, continue along the path, after about 60 m leave it and climb the slope on the right towards N where the vegetation thins out, after about 90 m you are at the cave entrance bordered by barbed wire and located in a small ditch with signs of water flow.

Route information: there is no beaten path; scrub or bush; path passable.

Access: free access, fence; some fences and gates of hunting areas to be passed, protected by barbed wire.
