One of the jewels of the Picentini Mountains is the "Grotta Profunnata", an interesting discovery inside the mountain massif.
This place, already known as a refuge for brigands in the second half of the 19th century, saw its first official exploration only in 2004. The speleologists who ventured there managed to identify real "environments" within it: a small cave joined by a corridor to a larger one, which overlooks the Valle del Trientale. Continuing along the path, stalactites and stagmites dominate, leading to a small lake, characterized by crystal clear water.
Unfortunately, the cave in its entirety is not a place accessible to everyone: in its entirety it can only be visited by speleologists or, in any case, experts equipped with the appropriate equipment.
For ordinary visitors, the excursion is only possible in the initial part, always with the aid of suitable equipment and under the guidance of an expert.
