Lage

Route: 1.4 km, 30 min. on foot. Following the SR79 (former SS79 Bis) you reach approximately Km 22+500 m, at the locality La Cerasa; take the white road on the right just before the houses opposite the junction for the dirt road leading to Titignano (side towards Todi). Proceed with the vehicle past an agricultural field and, after about 500 m from the junction, leave the car in the clearing. In reality one could continue along the dirt road with an off-road vehicle as far as possible. Set off along the same way proceeding downhill; after about 450-500 m you reach an S-bend that leads to a further agricultural field below; proceed along the path at the end of the field that goes into the bosco (woods) towards the stream below, turning, after about 500 m of path, to the left downhill until reaching the stream bed. Go up the river bed until reaching the first drops of the gorge; climb at least three of them easily until you glimpse the evident entrances of the cave in the wall on the orographic left of the stream.

Route information: Scrub or bush, Walkable path, Wall to be equipped, Dangerous access.

Entrance: Entrances of the cavity in the wall of the gorge, the lower one easily accessible, the upper one only from inside.

Entrance context: Natural, Wall.

Access: Free access; the cave is located inside the gorge, the gorge must be traversed from the bottom by climbing some small drops in the absence of water flow, not advisable in flood periods.

Locality: La Torraccia, Fosso del Curso.
