note from the end of the nineteenth century, was among the first to be explored on the Carso of over 3,000 caves currently stacked. Today the inputs are two: a natural well deep about 30 meters, from which it is possible to dive only with speleological equipment, and an artificial input which, through a staircase of 200 steps, leads the public to the heart of the cave, about 60 meters below ground.<\/p>\n
The cavity extends into compartments adorned with beautiful sails, eccentric, stalactites and stalagmites, high up to 7 meters and are also heavy 10 tonnes. The most famous are the towers stalagmitiche, a group of eight concretions of different sizes, from which the grotto takes its name. Inside, besides the small insects typical of the hypogeal environment, dwells in a mixed colony of bats: three species living, become lethargic and reproduce in the cave. These are protected by a partial lighting of the cavity and by specific requirements that govern the flow of visitors on the basis of the rhythms of nature.<\/p>\n
The cavity is an example of active protection of a naturalistic site born from a close collaboration with the Natural History Museum of Trieste and with the Faculty of Geology of the University of Trieste. The inlet includes: Guided visit with a naturalistic guide or speleological; transport Agribus with at the entrance of the cave and return; endowment of safety helmets with lamp.<\/p>\n
