Lage

Route: 2.4 km, 25 min. Coming from Massa Martana or Giano dell’Umbria via the SP 445 towards the Monti Martani, park the vehicle at Passo di Acqua Canale. Continue on foot taking the trail to the S towards Monte Forzano that starts from the wooden gate, following the uphill dirt road for about 1.6 km to a junction where you keep the track to the left towards Monte Capoccia Pelata and the subsequent descent and ascent across the slope. After passing some small rocks, about 1.30 km from the previous junction, continue along the track for another 120 m and here turn left, descending through the meadow for another 60, in sight of the fence where the cave entrance opens near a tree.

Route information: there is no beaten path; dangerous access.

Location: Monte Forzano, Monti Martani. Entrance setting: natural, slope. Access: fence; presence of a fence and a distinctive tree.

Beschreibung

Morphologie

Bell-shaped pit about 8 m deep. Trend: predominantly vertical. Entrance: cavity bounded by a fence at its entrance, about 2 metres in diameter, with a tree usable for the descent.

Hydrologie

Hydrology and meteorology: no circulation; no airflow was detected at the entrance - 2018.

Befahrung

Traversability: demanding; recommended period all year round. Rigging: temporary. Progression difficulty: shafts. Hazards: dangerous access.

Weitere Einzelheiten

Geology: MAI Maiolica - Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous (Tithonian-Aptian); stratified micritic limestones; stratified; see report by Famiani & Cardinali - 2018. The cavity formed through the combined effect of the tectonic system that guided the displacements and primary fractures in the limestone formation on which the karst action was established, followed by a gravitational collapse of the vaults with the related accumulation of debris on the bottom.

Geschichte

Notes on the name: referred to by Lippi Boncambi as Voragine Pozzicula in the 1950 Cadastral List.
