The fairy hole represents one of the most important natural cavities of the Park. It goes into the mountain for about 70 m, with a branched tunnel that gradually descends for a difference in height of 5 m. Its particular name is given by the many legends of hanging clothes hanging outside the cave and of fireflies ...

Magical place just above Badia Prataglia. Easily accessible by parking in the nearby Campo dall'Agio rest area.
