ボルゴ・ア・モッツァーノの峡谷・トップ8

An interesting ring from both a naturalistic and landscape point of view, one of the best in the southern Apuan Alps

Super nice stalactite cave. The short, one-hour lap is definitely worth it, unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to do the two additional laps yet. Still on the wish list.

Beautiful tourist cave, organized visits with guide. Super recommended!

In the territory of Bagni di Lucca, near the town of Cocciglia, you will find these limestone gorges magnificently carved into the rock. Flowing impetuously below is the Lima torrent, whose waters increase as the snowfields melt. To feed them, however, there are also underground springs, which create tortuous structures, crossed by eddies and eddies, so much so that, over time, legends and tales about this stretch of river were born spontaneously. Some say that the Dragon Regulus is hiding under these rocks, others that the gates of hell are here. Today, however, the straits of Cocciglia in the Val di Lima are anything but hell, as they have become a paradise for water sports enthusiasts.

The Orrido di Botri is an imposing limestone gorge, characterized by very steep walls dug in depth, up to 200 meters high and in some stretches just a few meters away from each other.It therefore looks like a real karst canyon , a narrow and sunken valley, created thanks to the erosive action of the waters of the Pelago river on the limestone rocks of the Apennines. The stream is wedged between high rocky walls, forming a natural environment of rare suggestion and of considerable geological and naturalistic interest. The flora is particularly rich and interesting: it is possible to admire numerous botanical species that are rare elsewhere, such as the uncommon pinguicola (Pinguicola vulgaris), an insectivorous plant with purple flowers and viscous leaves suitable for capturing small insects on which it feeds.

The Grotta del Vento is located in the center of the Natural Park of the Apuan Alps, under Mount Pania Secca in the municipality of Fabbriche di Vergemoli, in the province of Lucca (Tuscany). It is one of the most complete tourist caves in Europe. It has three tourist routes lasting 1, 2, or 3 hours and two adventure routes. The first itinerary (lasting one hour) runs through galleries characterized by the great abundance of concretions all "alive" and of different colors. The second itinerary (lasting 2 hours) includes the previous route and continues descending 75 meters until it reaches the deepest part of the cave which is crossed by a small underground stream. The third itinerary (lasting 3 hours) includes the first two routes and involves the ascent of a perfectly vertical shaft about 90 meters high. As an alternative to the normal tourist itineraries, two adventure trails have been set up for lovers of strong sensations.

A beautiful cave full of bizarre stalactite beauties! Highly Recommended! There are guided tours of various lengths (1-3 hours).

Beautiful cave at the foot of Mount Matanna inhabited since prehistoric times. Archaeological site, the findings of the excavation campaigns are kept in the archaeological museum of Camaiore. Climbing routes and beautiful natural environment with a large cave dominated by overhanging walls with waterfalls and water games.
