visiting UNESCO commission

I was able to visit the cave thanks to the initiative of the Eastern Emilia Parks Authority and the support of the speleological guides of Bologna. I found it a very special and interesting experience .. and also fun between crawling in some places and some muddy slides to do downhill and uphill I therefore feel I can recommend it to both adults and children, especially them 😊 The guides were then really good and told the story of the cave and its various evolutions without ever getting bored.

The landscape is extremely suggestive and the descent is relatively easy, even if in the rain it can create dangerous furrows

the Shoemaker hole

The Farneto area ... is today best known for the cave that bears the same name: it was discovered in 1871 by Francesco Orsoni, who began the first, important archaeological research. In the 1960s Luigi Fantini, in a natural shelter created by a protruding layer, found some burials attributable to the Copper Age (the finds are exhibited at the Archaeological Museum of Bologna). Shaken by quarry work, the entire outcrop and the cave remained inaccessible for years due to a landslide that blocked the entrance, until the implementation of a recovery and safety intervention that finally allowed its redevelopment and reopening to the public in 2008.

One of my favourites

It is the largest sinkhole of the whole Bolognese gypsum complex (the diameter exceeds 700 m) and includes smaller sinkholes and numerous sinkholes, which lead to as many caves.
