Buca del Corno ---
Already described in 1875 by Abbot Stoppani, the Buca del Corno is a karst cave dating back to prehistoric times. Measuring 385 meters long, it includes the Sala della Cascata, del Vortice, della Frana and the Altare chamber. It is an active cave, that is, a cavity crossed by water whose flow can reach considerable volumes in case of abundant rainfall. The roar of the flowing water makes visiting the cave truly fascinating. If you have a taste for the macabre, moreover, know that the Altare chamber was very likely a burial site: the finds discovered here and now displayed at the Museo Archeologico di Bergamo would attest to this. In the cave you can have truly singular encounters: the Allegrettia Pavani, an extremely rare beetle, lives here; unfortunately it is rather shy, so look carefully around you.
