Grotta dei Puntali
Grotta dei Puntali submitted by torwen : Entrance to the Grotta dei Puntali. Unfortunately it was closed because of the bats breeding (closed May to September). But there is a small bureau with information (CDs, leaflets, and some artefacts from the excavations). A visit must be pre-arranged: http://www.coordinamentoriservenaturaligre.it/form_puntali.asp (Vote or comment on this photo)
