Location

From the SS448 running alongside Lake Corbara, take the road to Acqualoreto and continue towards Morre in the direction of Civitella del Lago along the SP34. After about 5.5 km from Morre, leave the car near the junction for Civitella del Lago on the right. From here continue on foot along the dirt road on the left side (also passable with an off-road vehicle or high vehicle) for about 1 km, near a clearing on the left overlooking a very small pond. Take the path that skirts the pond towards Monte Pozzo Callarano up to a clearing after about 600 m, continue straight along the track in the scrub for another 100 m. From here turn downhill towards the slope for about 60 m where the entrance is found among the scrub. Route of 40 min., 1.95 km. There is no beaten path, only scrub or woodland.

Location: Civitella del Lago, Monte Pozzo Callarano. Entrance context: natural, slope. Free access; entrance obstructed/blocked; small sinkhole in the ground.
