Descrizione

Morfologia

A winding crawl 28 metres long, low but gradually widening, leads to a fairly high (5 metres) and spacious chamber. From the axis of this chamber a gallery of comfortable dimensions departs (5 to 7 metres wide, 2 metres high on average). Then the vault lowers after a final widening and progress stops at an invasive clay fill, 90 metres from the entrance.

Concrezioni

In the gallery, the walls and ceiling are beautifully decorated with speleothems.
