    Hiking

    The Buca di Budriolo is a deep blind valley, formed near extremely inclined chalky layers, a natural wonder. From here, you will be able to enjoy a spectacular panorama from the opposite side of the hole.

    Buca del Budriolo
    It is a deep blind valley, which developed in contact with very inclined chalky layers; on the bottom there is the sinkhole for access to the Calindri cave (another protected cave).
