The magic results of the wash manifested to
way clearer in the Bertarelli´s cave,
of immense proportions, in the bat´s
areas, in the "Desert", go beyond
it we arrive at room "Principe di Piemonte",
a real dome where turn into the cave "Boegan".
Further the "Avenue of the Temple",
full of pillars, and after the fork of the
Horrid, catch up the "Baptistery",
the lake "Siphon", the "Titan's
Jump" to catch up the lake "Terminal".
The entrances of
the caves opened
on a large
square, to the western
slopes of the Alburni
Mountains, on the
right of the river
Calore
and to 94 metres
at sea level. Crossed
the
gate-way, the vault
elevates and caught
themselves
to dismayed sense.
The cave is a follow
one another of tunnels,
saloons, bottlenecks
and wells, they run
after themselves,
they superimpose
one on
another, they plunge
on falls and fearfull
chasms where horrible
and fantastic alternate
themselves in a rainbow
of colours, starting
a unique particular
in their way: lemons,
a face of cherub,
bunches of grapes,
big
crib and the Pagoda.
The Cave, holds particular
interest to the
enormous saloons,
cathedrals, corridors
and
wide tunnels, all
wonderfully decorate
to
an extraordinary
wealth of concretions
to
the shapes more various
that the nature could
to create.
At the foot of a limestone wall rises the
entrance that it asks to undertake a striking
and particular journey into the deepest bowels
of the earth, coloured by green cliffs.
After few metres of journy there is the cave
called the Guano, represented a circular
and immense mouth; we´re going in the journey we meet tunnels, wells, bottlenecks
whose exploration infuses an irresistible
curiosity.
More forward there is a big cave dedicated
to the guide Luigi Vittorio Bertarelli, where
in perfect vertical rises a wonderful pillar
and near its an elegant stalagmite. The whole
is dominate by more numerous stalactites
imitate motifs architectural of most interest.
In the bat´s areas notice of the concretions
darker because corroded to acid substances;
from here we arrive into the Desert whose
flouring seems sandy and level. Further the
Desert arrive at the big room Principe di
Piemonte particular for the presence of a
pillar constituted to elegant elements to
horizontal disc.
Instead into the tunnel called Boegan the
spectator finds in front to a stately stage
constituted to pillars stalagmited and hundreds
of stalactites reunited harmoniously in a
limited area. Sundry articles the paleolithic
age, discovered in the last years, they did
to think that the cave was lived continuously
from stone age to iron age. Furthermore that
was described till now, the cave presents
other ones innumerable natural motifs worthy
and important.
