Top 5 Caves ファラ・ヴィチェンティーノでの

A dark, fifty-meter-long tunnel from the Great War: you enter from the dirt road entrance and exit on the opposite side, in the middle of the woods, through a small door and up a ladder (or vice versa). Continuing along the path, you reach a restored trench. I'm not sure if this tunnel was Italian, French, or English: the Granezza plain was an important Italian logistics base in 1916; in 1918, the British and French arrived with large numbers of men and equipment, to support the Allies and as a last resort for the southern edge of the Asiago plateau overlooking the plain.

Cave with a considerable development of over 400 meters. At the entrance it immediately divides into two narrow and winding branches: the Ramo dei Ghiri, on the right, and the Ramo dee Strighe, on the left. The tunnels are twisted, very narrow (so much so that the backpack is an impediment to leave at the entrance!), in total darkness, with protruding concretions and narrow passages that at a certain point force you to advance on all fours or to crawl. Entering it is quite impressive: avoid if you are afraid of closed and narrow spaces, complete darkness, bats, cave crickets, spiders (present in the initial meters) and various creatures of the darkness! According to legend, the anguane live near a water source or a stream, inside caves or grottos: hence the toponym 'buso' = hole in Venetian dialect, to be understood as a home or refuge. https://www.ecovicentino.it/esplorare-il-vicentino/la-valle-delle-anguane-e-la-carega-del-diavolo-a-laverda/

Two small and close together Italian shelters from the Great War, dug into the rock: part of the rear defensive line of the mountain range, as an extreme barrier on the southern edge of the Asiago Plateau against a possible Austro-Hungarian invasion attempt in the Po Valley.

Italian gallery of the Great War: part of the rear defensive line of the mountain belt, as an extreme barrier of the southern edge of the Asiago plateau against a possible Austro-Hungarian invasion attempt in the Po Valley. Narrow, straight, 60 meters long, with 3 exits: total darkness / front light. In the middle of Sojo Park, with a scary art installation inside!

It's definitely worth having a small flashlight with you ;)

Here the path goes through a small tunnel in the mountain, from which a passage branches off. We didn't dare to explore it without a flashlight :)
