Situation

Location: Civitella del Lago, Monte Cerretino. Entrance: a wide open-air chasm; the GPS coordinates refer to the rigging point. Entrance setting: natural, on a slope. Access: a barbed-wire fence protects the wide chasm; take care near its edges.

Route: 10 min on foot, 500 m. On reaching Civitella del Lago, at the junction before the village, continue to the right towards Todi. After about 200 m, again to the right, and continue for 1.4 Km. At a right-hand bend, two dirt tracks branch off: take the second one near some barbecues (trail 716-714). After about 1.2 Km, leave the car near the barrier at the entrance to the barbecue area. Continue on foot along the path leading to the tables (about 150 m). On reaching a wooden hut, turn right towards the path leading into the scrub (towards the hunting area); after about 40 m, turn left and uphill, following the track marked with red paint on branches and stones. After about 90 m you reach the barbed-wire enclosure of the chasm; passing it and going to the right, after a few metres you reach the rigging point. Route information: walkable path.
