N el Finale, karst area par excellence, an underground cavity, without presenting the grandeur of the rooms of a castle, the Grotta Gigante in Trieste or Marche Cave of the Wind, can rightly deserve the title of the cave "more colorful" d 'Italy: the cave of Valdemino.
Just a short distance from the town of Borgo Verezzi (exit at Finale Ligure dell'A10, travel about 3 km SP Aurelia to the village, then follow the signs to the cave) , is open all year, morning and afternoon, except Monday.
The cave was discovered in 1933, following excavations carried out in order to safeguard the countryside surrounding flood Battorezza del Rio, the river which, with its mechanical and chemical action, formed the cavity. But it was not until 1951 that the scans were able to go beyond the initial compartments, gradually revealing a subterranean labyrinth of about five kilometers. The construction of the tourist route, still followed today, with system operations and lighting, date from 1970.
not the whole extent of the cave is accessible by tourists with guides, only about 800 m, but provide the opportunity for visits of one hour, during which the eye falls in love really that fairy world. Water, simultaneously destructive and manufacturer, has drilled over the millennia those underground spaces, with an unimaginable scenario al'esterno a crazy dream and dissymmetrical expression of whimsical art, where every architectural detail is unique and unrepeatable, perhaps similar to another but never equal, in most cases quite dissimilar in the name of unbridled imagination.
draperies, columns, delicate and the lightest tubes that twist in anarchic challenges to the gravity and symmetry, transparent veils are colored in shades unexpected tawny, golden, but also pure white, tinged feast for those reflections shimmering lakes, buildings in that spell of stone and water.
It often looks the Crystal Cave is intended to accommodate the thousand-year sleep of Merlin the Enchanter ...
A council only if it is your first visit to the underground. Do not fall victim of the rumor according to which the caves are always very cold, do not go with three jumpers on each other. Inside, you'll find 16 ° C constant in every season.
