Why it enters the Top 100

An experience ranked for its story and distinctiveness.

It combines around 300 metres of via ferrata sections, ramps, zip lines and a bridge over a 60 metre deep submerged well. The story is not that of a short cave attraction: the continuity of tunnels, mining works and obstacles forms a real underground journey.
