Grotta del Forello

Location: Titignano, La Roccaccia.

Route: upper route of 1.1 Km, 30 min on foot. Once at the built-up area of Titignano, proceed along the unpaved road descending to the left of the Castello (if desired, the vehicle can be left in the parking area in front of the Castello and you can continue on foot since the road has steep or broken sections). After about 600 m at the first junction turn left, then continue for another 2 km until you see a parking pull-off on your right (from where the path to La Roccaccia starts); this is a further point where vehicles can be left. Then proceed along the last stretch of road, which has a broken and stony surface, for another 1.5 km, until reaching a pull-off on the left where vehicles can be left. If the road allows, continue with the vehicle until, after a few downhill hairpin bends and 600 m of unpaved road, you reach the travertine quarries. At the end of the road proceed W along a contour path. Leave the aforementioned path to head toward a rocky spur, visible toward the valley, directly above the Tevere; descend this spur on the E side until, with some difficulty, you reach the cave entrance.

Route from the river: 50 m, 5 min on foot. From the easternmost landing of the Corbara basin (to the right of the direction of navigation, hydrographic left) proceed upstream along the river for about 2.7 Km, then land on the left side (hydrographic right) near a rocky ledge; when the level is low, a semi-submerged cavity into which the river waters flow can be seen nearby. From the ledge climb to the right through the scrub along a faint path that first heads E then SE until, after about 40 m, you reach the foot of a wall at the westernmost access of the cavity; going around the same wall to the right of the entrance, after about ten m you find yourself in front of the large main entrance hall.

Route information: scrub or woodland, passable path, boat required.

Entrance: three entrances, the main one is a large entrance hall. Entrance setting: natural, slope. Access: free access; it can be reached both by boat and via the paths starting from Titignano.
