Location

Location: Poggio Azzuano.

Route: along the SP22, from the parking area near the junction for Carsulae, continue along the asphalt road in a N direction. After about 200 m, on the right, take a track bypassing a small wire fence gate, on whose side the pedestrian passage is open. Climb the track in the direction of the Eremo di Santa Caterina. Once at the valley bottom, before the junction with the Cammino dei Protomartiri Francescani, a rock face is visible on the right. Climb up among the boulders following the most evident track to the entrance, which is not easily visible as it is embedded among large boulders.

Route information: there is no beaten path.

Entrance: small entrance in the ground between 2 small trees and mossy stones. Entrance setting: natural. Access: open.
