Situation

Route from the river: 130 m, 10 min on foot. From the easternmost landing place of the Corbara basin (on the right of the direction of navigation, hydrographic left) proceed upstream for about 2.0 km, then land on the left side (hydrographic right) after passing the wall that has 3 larger openings and many other small holes. At about 70 m from the above-mentioned wall a path in the bosco starts and climbs; after about 60 m the vegetation opens up, from here turn right and continue climbing until, after another 40 m of walking, you come in sight of and close to the wide entrance.

Route information: there is no beaten path; scrub or bush; steep slope.

Entrance: wide entrance at the base of a wall. Entrance setting: natural, slope. Access: free; path climbing towards the summit walls.

Description

Morphologie

The cavity is formed by a comfortable cavern elongated from east to west, communicating with the outside through a low passage to the west and a comfortable opening to the south. There is also a further small entrance, again to the west. Trend: horizontal. Passability: easy; recommended period: all year round.

Geology: SAA Scaglia Rossa - Upper Cretaceous-Middle Eocene (Turonian-Lutetian); stratified micritic limestones; stratified. The cave develops along an east-west oriented fracture.

Spéléothèmes

No speleothems; earthy floor.

Hydrologie

The cavity is dry.

Autres détails

It is in communication, not accessible at the moment, with the Grotta dei Cinghiali UM596.

Histoire

Archaeology and palethnology: no excavations have been carried out in the cavity, but given the south-facing exposure, the nature of the ground, the comfort of the environment and the proximity of water, it is possible that a digging operation could lead to appreciable results, as have already been obtained in the nearby Grotte del Forello UM225 and di San Francesco UM52.

Protection of historical-archaeological sites: no.
