In this deep cave, which can be visited in part, remains of Ursus spalaeus (Cave Bear), a large mammal that existed during the middle and late Pleistocene, were found.

The skeleton is currently preserved in a glass case visible at the Lamon town hall...👍

This large cave has various names: Bus de la Bela, Bus de la Vecia, Bus de la Tosa, Grotta di San Donato, and Grotta dell'Orso.

The skeleton of an Ursus Spalaeus (Cave Bear) was found there, a prehistoric animal of imposing size that surpassed that of today's grizzly bear: 3.5 meters (standing) and weighing almost 1 ton. Three explanatory panels at the entrance tell its story. The skeleton is visible free of charge at the Lamon Town Hall.

The remains of this mammal have been found in numerous caves across Europe, an environment they used as a dwelling and for hibernation. They often competed with prehistoric humans for ownership of the cave, and one theory suggests they became extinct precisely because of predation by our ancestors. In ancient times, the bones found were attributed to dragons or griffins!

Opposite the cave, climbing a short, exposed ramp equipped with a cable leads to a beautiful waterfall.
