At the bottom of the sinkhole, hidden by the woods and framed by beautiful candle erosions, there is the small cave of the same name, also known as the Pipistrello Hole. The cavity, which has a development of 50 m and a depth of 15, is an absorption point for the waters that feed the Spipola-Acquafredda system. The number 37 imprinted with red paint corresponds to that with which it is registered in the "Regional Cadastre of Natural Cavities".
