A few kilometers from the town of Alvito, among the mountains bordering Abruzzo, there is the so-called Fossa Maiura (815 m), a karst depression that almost forms a natural amphitheater: it is a gigantic sinkhole about 100 meters deep and about 3 km in circumference, in the shape of an inverted truncated cone with a perimeter of more than a kilometer. This is where the waters that feed the Fibreno originate.

Unfortunately I have to inform you that 2 days ago I tried to take the road starting from Roccasecca but in the first km the road is closed by several gates in succession and while the first two can easily be opened and passed, the third gate is almost impassable because it is on a small bridge that would require you to climb over the parapet. Maybe even passing this gate you will encounter others. More updates are welcome from anyone who has them, because I would really like to try again.

In the penumbra generated by the La Monna and Rotonaria mountains, the Antullo well emerges majestically, an extraordinary sinkhole of natural origins. This phenomenon is the result of the collapse of the ceiling of a vast cave, resulting in a chasm of imposing proportions: with an upper diameter of 140 meters, a perimeter of 370 meters and a depth of 60 meters. The Antullo well establishes itself as one of the largest examples of a sinkhole formed by collapse in the world, exceeding in size even the famous gouffre de Padirac in France. Walking along the path that surrounds it, visitors will be able to admire this karst chasm, with its walls adorned with suggestive stalactites and its bottom covered with rich tree vegetation.

Panoramic point at the beginning of the route. The best time to visit the Lacerno Gorges is between the end of June and the end of August. The path is not marked, but you can see where it is possible to pass. For safety reasons I suggest putting on a helmet before entering the gorges.

The Pozzo D'Antullo is a large karst sinkhole, with a maximum depth of 80 m and a circumference of 300 m, originating from the sinking of the ground, due to karst phenomena in the area. The bottom of the sinkhole is completely covered by vegetation and there are curious curved stalactites, probably generated by the wind coming from the side tunnels that modify the deposition of limestone crystals. During the visit you can walk the entire perimeter of the sinkhole and admire it from different angles.
