The screaming Lair

An exciting half-day cave excursion, to discover the fascinating underground world, among stalactites and stalagmites
We will follow an underground stream through chambers filled with stunning mineral formations that date back millions of years. Stalactites and stalagmites, sometimes fused into incredible columns of calcium carbonate, whose origins are almost beyond imagination, will make this exploration a truly unforgettable experience.
We'll wear wetsuits to comfortably move through small waterfalls and, for those who wish, there's even the chance to take a dip in a crystal-clear underground lake.
For the more curious and adventurous, a short crawl through narrow passages leads to the mysterious "Room of Silence", where you can experience the powerful sensation of total darkness.
At the end of the excursion, we’ll visit the charming village of Fornovolasco, nestled at the foot of the majestic Apuan Alps.
