Descrizione

Morfologia

The funnel-shaped mouth leads us to a narrow passage preceded by a 1.50 metre drop. We continue along a descending joint 0.40 metres wide until reaching a small 2 metre pit, which connects with another very narrow and muddy pit down which 5 metres more could be descended until reaching a sandstone stratum where the joint became impracticable.

Cavity structured on a N320O – S320E joint. The erosion forms are notable, especially in the second pit. The mouth opened to the exterior at the expense of a sandstone stratum.

Idrologia

The cavity acts as a swallow hole.
