Top 5 Caves レッツォアーリオでの

Former iron mine on a strip of serpentinite in morphological relief between the Grondona torrent and the Canale delle Miniere; in the immediate vicinity, in a strip of serpentinite that emerges between landslide deposits, there was instead a former copper mine. These locations are reported with precision in the pre-unitary Austrian cartography, where they are indicated with the names of "Min. di Ferro" and "Miniera di Rame". These are places that exemplify the different areas that formed the metal-bearing basin of the upper Nure Valley, linked to the history of the Ferriere factories.

The entrance seems a bit difficult but in reality it is doable. Inside, the temperature is warm, you advance for about ten meters then you need speleological equipment to reach the total 25 meters of the cave. In the warmth a family of small bats, the vespertilli, hibernate in the classic head-down posture..... A must-see

Easily accessible We didn't go in to see because we weren't equipped
