Top 5 Caves ペッチョリでの

Two hypogeum tombs dating from the 3rd to 1st centuries BC are visible in this necropolis, which (possibly) belonged to the Calcina gens. Etruscan Volterra had probably been conquered by Rome as early as 298 BC, but its civilization and rituals remained present for a long time. The tombs were probably discovered in 1880, but the date is uncertain.

the beauty of the Tuscan landscape together with the natural phenomena of the sulphurous spas with spontaneous springs in the woods, the Mediterranean scrub, the cave where Maurizio spent 13 years of his life as a hermit at the beginning of the 1900s, make this ring an interesting, beautiful and feasible excursion from everyone

There are scorpions here! A real crypt, but it is illuminated. Located about 100m from the main street.

Completely without water in August

One almost overlooks the small sign that points to this really old Etruscan burial site. A small path from the road along an olive grove, there is a small entrance. A few steps down, a small burial chamber with 4 graves unfolds. That was it already. Only worth it for those who are really interested in Etruscan history. None of the others miss anything here.

In this necropolis there are two hypogeum tombs from the III-I century BC. belonged (maybe) to the Gens Calcina. The Etruscan Volterra had probably already been conquered by Rome (298 BC), but its civilization and rites were still (and for a long time) around. The graves were likely found in 1880, but the date is not certain. The second grave also descends deep into the ground with a double staircase (dromos) ... certainly only partially original. If you go down the stairs, you come to a large, square anteroom from which four (small) burial chambers lead, each with docks for storing urns. (Parking is not possible here, you should come on foot)

The trail is visible on the map until the geysir. Then just follow the river when dry. Later you will see a path that is marked aside the river. It is a nice hidden valley and it ends at a cave with waterfall dependant on water level. Nice shadow on hot tuscany summer days - and a bit of adventure.

Maurizio used to live here as a hermit and chiseled a few figures into the stone. Ropes help to get safely down in wet weather.
