Hiking

The fairy hole represents one of the most important natural cavities of the Park. It goes into the mountain for about 70 m, with a branched tunnel that gradually descends for a difference in height of 5 m. Its particular name is given by the many legends of hanging clothes hanging outside the cave and of fireflies ...
