Must see, Candraloni sinkhole

beautiful karst sinkhole

The Grotta dei Candraloni, a sinkhole where the waters of the stream of the same name fall.

Really suggestive place that deserves to be visited.

Beautiful very impressive lake, often there is grazing cattle and horses

Finally, a protection was placed on the road adjacent to the cave, a very, very dangerous point overlooking the cave. Pay attention.

Always spectacular to visit this place, pay close attention to the slippery surface.

The Grotta dei Candraloni is a natural sinkhole hidden in the Verteglia plateau in Montella, in the province of Avellino. The main entrance of the cave is hidden by beech woods and you have to climb to an altitude of 1220 meters above sea level, from here you enter the mysterious bowels of the path that extends for 840 meters, while the depth is 65 meters. The first obligatory passage of the path of the beech groves at the entrance to the cave consists of a series of natural ladders to the left of the homonymous Candraloni stream. Then, only the most experienced, motivated and equipped can continue, remaining on the left, for a climb of a few meters, made a bit slippery by the presence of water, while the many twigs are more characteristic and for those who know how to use them, even useful ones. and trunks of trees present, lying there by the bad weather of winter and by the strange games of nature. It then begins along the main branch of the cave, a "karst channel", which extends for 400 meters and leads to the river delle Acque Nere. This is the easiest and most spacious section of the sinkhole, although it is very likely the presence of mud, even high, and the "sucker effect" that can cause if you sink with your feet. Not infrequently, it can also reach the knees and often also dirties concretions and stalactites. The path then begins to tighten, becomes a bottleneck, even quite full of water at certain times of the year, slowing down the continuation considerably, which culminates in the plain of the Black Waters below.
