A pointed-arch entrance dug into the earth, mixing tufa and boulders, where one follows the stream up to +6 m.
Description
Morphology
The entrance is a pointed arch dug into the earth; it is in fact a mixture of tufa and boulders. The ceiling drops quickly then rises again, and the passage climbs from boulder to boulder up to +6 m.
Hydrology
One follows the stream; at +6 m, the water emerges from behind a large stone.
Progression
One follows the stream; the ceiling drops quickly then rises again and the passage climbs from boulder to boulder up to +6 m, where the water emerges from behind a large stone.
Other details
The distance from the cliff (see overall plan) motivated stopping the work, which had counted on a passage reaching the foot of the cliff.
