Tips
The Tanaccia Cave of Brisighella, one of the most beautiful and well-known caves in the entire Vena del Gesso Romagna, has an underground path with suggestive environments enriched by interesting karst phenomena; it is possible to visit it all year round, with the exception of the winter period to protect the hibernation of bats. The karst complex of Tanaccia, located at about 200 m asl, has a total development of over 2 km, but the tourist route is reduced to about 500 m with a stay in the subsoil of about 1 hour. It is located about 2 km west of Brisighella and can be reached by taking the Provincial road Monticino-Limisano in the direction of Riolo Terme.
Guided tours can be organized by reservation, every day from April.The first explorations of this cave are due to the Trieste speleologist Giovanni Bertini Mornig, who between 1934 and 1935 also brought to light some prehistoric finds.
