What more to see compared to the first itinerary: the Giants’ Abyss, forms of erosion, the underground river
At the end of the first itinerary the descent of the Giants’ Abyss begins, which leads into the Hall of Voices where unusual acoustics create evocative effects.Past a narrow tunnel going down a steep flight of stairs you reach a little square. In the 80’s of the last century a study on the healing effects of the cave on those suffering with bronchial asthma was conducted here with great success. The murmuring of the water announces a small underground river, at times almost dry, which in thousands and thousands of years has dug large chambers and carved with its erosive action large spurs of rock. Further on, past a domed- ceiling, the water disappears into a sandy siphon proceeding its course towards dark passages still all to be discovered. On the way back the first itinerary is reached again through the intermediate tunnel, where formations of petrified mud can be seen.
